Cyclospora Outbreak Hits Across U.S. | Charleston News
Description
A nationwide Cyclospora outbreak is causing alarm, with over 1,600 confirmed cases and 140 hospitalized—Michigan’s hit hardest with more than 3,300 cases. Investigators are zeroing in on leafy greens as a likely culprit, though no specific source has been confirmed. Taco Bell is under scrutiny but has not been linked to the outbreak. Symptoms include severe, explosive diarrhea, and the parasite spreads through contaminated food or water—not person-to-person. Authorities urge caution as they work to contain the spread.
