Episode Details

A nationwide spike in cyclosporiasis cases is causing alarm, with over thirty states reporting infections—though the focus remains on Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky. Arizona has seen 19 cases, but officials say they’re seasonal and not part of the outbreak. Caused by a microscopic parasite, the illness brings severe, watery diarrhea and can lead to hospitalization, though no deaths have been reported. Health experts urge doctors to test for it during summer months, even without travel history, as contaminated food or water—not person-to-person contact—is the source. The CDC admits numbers may be underreported as investigators scramble to find a common food source.
