Episode Details

Kansas is facing a growing cyclosporiasis outbreak with 55 confirmed cases this year—25 in just one month—with health officials pointing to contaminated lettuce and salad greens as a likely culprit. Symptoms include severe, persistent watery diarrhea, and experts urge everyone to wash all produce thoroughly under running water, scrub firm veggies with a brush, and avoid bagged salads. If using whole lettuce, remove outer leaves and wash inner ones carefully. Cooking to 158°F kills the parasite. If you experience symptoms, see a doctor immediately.
