Cyclospora Outbreak in Texas | Lubbock News
Description
Texas is grappling with a rising tide of Cyclospora infections, with 15 counties reporting cases—most clustered in South Texas and Houston—during the peak summer months. This microscopic parasite, often tied to fresh produce, causes watery diarrhea, cramping, and fatigue, though it’s rarely fatal for healthy individuals. While no single outbreak source has been confirmed, the CDC is tracking over 140 U.S. cases. Prevention is simple: wash hands and rinse all fruits and veggies before eating. Stay vigilant, but don’t panic—basic food safety keeps you safe.
