Cyclospora Outbreak Linked to Iceberg Lettuce | Tulsa News
Description
A major cyclospora outbreak is spreading across 15 states, now tied to iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms grown in central Mexico — up from just 9 states previously linked. Symptoms can take weeks to appear, and with shrinking public health resources, tracking the source is harder than ever. This is the largest outbreak CDC’s seen, with five separate cyclospora cases under investigation — one already sickening 115 people. While cyclosporiasis usually causes watery diarrhea and peaks in late spring/summer, it’s less common than salmonella or E. coli — and often goes untraced to a specific food.
