## Resource

Health officials are narrowing in on lettuce and salad greens as the likely source of a widespread cyclosporiasis outbreak, with hundreds of cases across 31 states—most notably Michigan and New York—though no deaths have been reported. While not yet confirmed as the sole culprit, early evidence strongly points to contaminated produce, and investigators are still exploring other potential sources. To stay safe, experts advise buying whole lettuce heads, washing all greens thoroughly—even pre-washed bags—and cooking or peeling produce when possible. This isn’t the first time cyclosporiasis has been tied to produce, with past outbreaks linked to bagged salads, cilantro, basil, and raspberries, reminding us to stay vigilant with our food prep.
