Michigan Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Surges | Detroit News

Published 2 weeks, 6 days ago
Description

Michigan is facing its worst cyclosporiasis outbreak ever, with over 7,000 cases and hundreds reported daily—far surpassing the state’s usual annual total of 50. Symptoms include severe diarrhea and nausea, with more than 100 people hospitalized. The outbreak, which began in late June and now spans 55 counties, is suspected to stem from contaminated lettuce or salad greens, though the source remains under investigation. A false positive from a Taylor Farms sample hasn’t halted the probe, and the CDC is also examining unrelated nationwide cases. With symptoms lasting weeks if untreated, staying informed is critical.
