NYC Cyclosporiasis Outbreak on the Rise | New York City News
Description
New York City’s health department is investigating a major spike in cyclosporiasis cases — 372 total since May, mostly between May 1 and July 9 — with symptoms like diarrhea, cramps, and nausea. Officials suspect contaminated food or water, especially imported produce like raspberries and cilantro, though the exact source remains unknown. Crucially, the parasite doesn’t spread person-to-person — it’s caught through tainted food or drink. Experts urge thorough washing of produce, proper cooking, and clean hands and surfaces. This isn’t isolated to NYC — 28 other states are also seeing similar outbreaks, making it a nationwide concern. Stay alert, stay safe, and keep your food prep habits sharp.
