Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Across Florida | Orlando News

Published 2 weeks, 4 days ago
Description

Florida’s grappling with over fifty confirmed cyclosporiasis cases since May — but experts suspect the real number is much higher, as many cases go unreported. This parasite causes brutal diarrhea, stomach cramps, and fatigue, and while most recover on their own, some suffer lingering symptoms. With over 1,600 nationwide cases and outbreaks stretching across 30 states, contaminated produce like lettuce and raspberries remains the prime suspect. Lee County leads Florida’s tally, but the threat is widespread — and the lag in reporting could mean you’re at risk even if your county hasn’t been flagged. Doctors urge anyone with symptoms to get tested — because this resilient bug can spread and trigger new outbreaks. Stay alert, stay informed, and watch what you eat.
