Description

Michigan is facing a shocking surge in cyclosporiasis cases, with over 12,000 reported since June—up from just 50 annually. The parasite-triggered illness causes debilitating diarrhea, nausea, and fatigue, hospitalizing nearly 200 and claiming two lives. Though lettuce was initially suspected, the source remains under investigation. With cases across 70 counties and adults 20–59 most affected, health officials urge everyone to wash all produce thoroughly—even bagged salads—and refrigerate cut items fast to stop the spread.
