Cyclosporiasis Spreads in Utah | Salt Lake City News
Description
Utah’s seeing a spike in cyclosporiasis cases—48 since May—with most travelers bringing it home from abroad or other states; only 5 likely local. Two deaths in Michigan have raised alarms, though fatalities are rare. The parasite, often found in lettuce, causes severe vomiting and diarrhea. While recalled products didn’t reach Utah shelves, experts urge caution: wash greens thoroughly, avoid bagged mixes, trim outer leaves, and cook to at least 158°F—because washing alone won’t kill this tough bug.
