Description

Kansas is facing a shocking surge in cyclosporiasis cases, jumping from 55 to nearly 300 in just one week—part of a nationwide outbreak tied to contaminated produce. With 289 confirmed cases, 241 hit this month alone; Johnson County leads with 95, followed by Shawnee (58) and Sedgwick (30). Women are disproportionately affected (169 vs. 120 men), and most victims are adults aged 25–64. Symptoms include watery diarrhea, cramps, and loss of appetite, appearing days after exposure. If you’re suddenly feeling sick, see a doctor—health officials are on high alert across the country.
