Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Hits Michigan | Detroit News

Published 2 weeks ago
Description

Michigan’s cyclosporiasis outbreak is exploding, with over 10,000 cases reported as of July 30—hundreds daily, up from just 50 annually. The parasite, Cyclospora cayetanensis, is causing severe diarrhea, fatigue, and appetite loss, hitting 70 counties hardest, especially Wayne County with over 1,000 cases. Lettuce and salad greens are the prime suspect, with links to a Taco Bell supplier. Fears are real: 40% of Americans are cutting back on produce, and lettuce sales are plummeting. But officials are responding fast.
