Cyclosporiasis Rising in South Carolina | Charleston News

Description

South Carolina’s seeing a rise in Cyclosporiasis cases—16 confirmed so far this year—with most popping up in June and July. While a bigger outbreak is unfolding in four other states, SC officials say they’re not part of that investigation yet. Caused by a microscopic parasite that loves warm weather, it spreads through contaminated food or water, often tied to imported berries or greens. Symptoms? Watery diarrhea, cramps, fatigue—usually not deadly but annoyingly persistent. Treatable with antibiotics, so if you’re struggling with digestive woes, see a doctor. Stay safe: wash hands, rinse produce, and skip untreated water.
