Description

Cyclospora cases are surging across the U.S., with Michigan seeing a shocking jump from 170 to over 570 cases in days—Ohio and North Carolina also hit hard. Health officials are racing to find the source, interviewing patients to trace common food or water links, though none have surfaced yet. This parasite, spread through contaminated food or water, causes nasty watery diarrhea, stomach cramps, and fatigue—symptoms that can linger for weeks. While no deaths have been reported, at least 20 hospitalizations this year highlight the danger, especially from dehydration. Treatment involves antibiotics and hydration, and recovery can take over a month.
