Episode Details

Cyclosporiasis cases are surging in Kansas, with numbers doubling to 55 this past week — part of a nationwide outbreak hitting over 1,600 confirmed cases and 5,000 more under investigation. Salad greens and lettuce are the prime suspects, with the illness spreading across 31 states. While no specific brands have been recalled yet, health officials warn the bug can cause severe dehydration and prolonged illness — especially for kids, the elderly, and immunocompromised folks. Treatment involves an older antibiotic, and prevention boils down to washing produce thoroughly and always washing your hands after handling fresh food.
