Episode Details

Rowan County’s health officials are investigating its first confirmed case of cyclosporiasis, a parasitic gut illness, tracing exposure through travel and food sources—likely not local. They’re collaborating with state health authorities as NC reports over 700 cases, 24 requiring hospitalization, with a new online dashboard tracking the outbreak. Symptoms appear a week after exposure: watery diarrhea, stomach cramps, fatigue, and loss of appetite—but it’s treatable with antibiotics and hydration. Stay safe by washing produce (though it’s not foolproof), cooking food to 165°F, and being cautious with herbs like parsley or cilantro, which have been tied to some cases.
