Cyclospora Outbreak: What You Need to Know | Portland News
Description
Cyclosporiasis is surging across the U.S., with over 800 confirmed cases and another 1,500 under investigation — and it’s making people sick with brutal, weeks-long diarrhea. Officials suspect contaminated produce, especially leafy greens and salad mixes, with Michigan leading the outbreak. The good news? Frozen or cooked produce is safe. If you’re dealing with diarrhea, see a doctor — a stool test confirms cyclospora. Prevention? Wash your hands with soap and water (not sanitizer), scrub produce thoroughly, and cook to 158°F to kill the parasite.
