Summary
Cyclosporiasis is surging across the Midwest and Texas, causing explosive diarrhea and other nasty symptoms — cases in Michigan jumped from 170 to over 570 in days, with southeast Michigan hardest hit. This foodborne parasite, typically seasonal, takes about a week to become infectious and doesn’t spread person-to-person. Symptoms appear 2–14 days after exposure and can last weeks, though it’s rarely life-threatening. Most healthy people recover on their own, but antibiotics like trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole help if needed. Prevention? Stick to clean food and water, wash hands, and stay alert — especially if you’re in affected areas. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
