Episode Details

North Carolina’s cyclosporiasis outbreak is exploding—with 867 cases and 33 hospitalizations since May, a shocking 149-case jump in just one week. Wake County alone accounts for nearly 600 of those infections. While last year saw only 306 cases, this surge isn’t linked to the Taco Bell outbreak elsewhere—but recent cases point to parsley and cilantro, known culprits in past outbreaks. Symptoms include watery diarrhea, cramps, and fatigue. Cooking food to 165°F kills the parasite; washing produce doesn’t guarantee safety. Consider skipping herbs for now and opt for locally sourced foods to boost transparency. Stay vigilant—your food choices matter.
