Episode Details

Cyclosporiasis outbreak linked to lettuce hits U.S. states, but Quebec remains unaffected—no local cases tied to this outbreak. Quebec saw 223 cases this year (up from 79 last year and far above the 70-year average), mostly from travel, especially to Mexico. Seasonal spike runs May–August, but Quebec’s cooler climate doesn’t support parasite spread locally. No contamination found in food or water. Health officials urge thorough produce washing, safe water, and preference for local produce in Quebec—and extra caution when traveling to tropical regions where rain can contaminate crops.
