Cyclospora Outbreak Alert for Mexico Travelers | Leeds News
Description
Travelers to Mexico’s Riviera Maya and Cancun are facing a spike in cyclospora infections—causing explosive diarrhea, cramping, and nausea—with 67 UK cases reported between April and July this year, up from an average of 93 annually. The parasite spreads through contaminated food like salads, soft fruits, and herbs—even at all-inclusive resorts. Experts urge sticking to bottled water and cooked meals, avoiding fresh berries and unpeeled fruit. Meanwhile, the U.S. CDC is tracking a massive outbreak affecting over 18,000 people across 45 states. If you feel sick after traveling, see a doctor and mention your trip—early diagnosis is key.
