Cyclospora Outbreak Hits Thousands | Detroit News

Published 2 weeks, 5 days ago
Description

Federal health officials are racing to track down the source of a major cyclospora outbreak, with over 1,600 confirmed cases and more than 100 hospitalized since May — and some states reporting tens of thousands more. This isn’t the first spike this year, following a previous outbreak tied to Taylor Farms lettuce from Mexico. While cooking kills the parasite, washing produce won’t help — and experts warn the true number of sick people is likely far higher, since many cases go unreported.
