Episode Details

A major cyclosporiasis outbreak is sweeping across 34 states, with over 1,600 confirmed cases—likely far higher—and Michigan leading with more than 2,600 cases. Investigators suspect contaminated lettuce or salad greens, though other foods remain possible. Symptoms include severe diarrhea, nausea, and cramps, often from ingesting the parasite found in feces. Hospitals in states like New York and Ohio are seeing dozens of cases, and the CDC warns numbers will climb due to reporting delays. Despite the surge, public risk remains low, and state health departments are stepping in as federal food safety surveillance shrinks. Officials are racing to pinpoint the source while urging safe food prep.
