Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Linked to Produce | New York City News
Description
New York City is grappling with a major cyclosporiasis outbreak, with 403 cases reported this year alone — and the parasite is spreading nationwide, hitting over 30 states. Caused by contaminated food or water, not person-to-person transmission, it’s linked to imported produce like raspberries and cilantro in past outbreaks, with lettuce and salad greens now suspected in Michigan. Symptoms mimic a bad stomach bug — watery diarrhea, cramps, nausea, fever — and while treatable, it’s especially dangerous for vulnerable groups. The best defense? Cook your produce thoroughly and remove outer lettuce leaves before washing.
