Ohio Cyclospora Outbreak Surges | Cincinnati News
Description
Ohio’s grappling with a shocking surge in cyclospora cases — over 4,000 this year alone, up from just 76 in all of 2025 — as the parasite causes explosive diarrhea and widespread digestive distress. The outbreak exploded in June, hit a fever pitch in July, and now rivals national totals nearing 6,700 confirmed cases. With the CDC tracing it back to May and pinpointing contaminated food/water as the culprit, restaurants are pulling ingredients and recalls are underway. While officials say they’re bringing it under control, the season isn’t over — and experts urge everyone to wash produce and practice strict hygiene to stay safe.
