Cyclosporiasis Outbreak in Pennsylvania | Pittsburgh News
Description
A major cyclosporiasis outbreak is hitting Pennsylvania, linked to contaminated shredded iceberg lettuce from central Mexico. With 45 confirmed and 3 probable cases — all with symptoms starting May 1 or later — this is the largest outbreak in U.S. history, far exceeding the usual annual cases. The culprit? Taylor Farms, which recalled its affected lettuce. Health officials urge everyone to wash produce thoroughly, remove damaged spots, refrigerate quickly, cook food to kill the parasite, and always wash hands before and after handling raw items. Stay vigilant — your food safety habits could be your best defense.
