Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Linked to Taco Bell | Irvine News
Description
A major cyclosporiasis outbreak is sweeping across the U.S., with over 1,600 confirmed cases in 34 states — Michigan alone reports more than 2,600. Caused by a parasite spread through contaminated produce, the illness triggers explosive diarrhea and is not typically fatal. Health officials are now investigating Taco Bell as a potential link, especially after Detroit locations pulled lettuce and pico de gallo. Cases are soaring — four times higher than last year by mid-July — with many likely going unreported. The CDC is still reviewing thousands of potential cases, while California reports no surge or connection to the outbreak.
