Summary
North Carolina’s grappling with a shocking surge in cyclosporiasis cases—307 infections and 13 hospitalizations since May 1, mostly in Wake County, already surpassing last two years’ totals. While many sick patients report eating parsley, cilantro, or lettuce, officials stress these aren’t confirmed culprits. Crucially, this outbreak isn’t linked to the recent Taco Bell scare. Health teams are urgently tracing sources and advising extreme caution with leafy greens—even washing may not eliminate the parasite. The investigation is still ongoing as officials race to stop the spread. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
