## Resource

A deadly cyclospora outbreak linked to shredded iceberg lettuce has sickened nearly 2,000 people across nine states, sending 98 to the hospital. The contamination traces back to Taylor Farms’ lettuce from central Mexico, shipped between late June and mid-July — found not just at Taco Bell but also in Walmart’s Marketside brand and other restaurants. Symptoms include explosive diarrhea, cramps, nausea, and fatigue that can linger for weeks. The FDA’s initial border test was a false positive, but the investigation remains focused on that batch. Consumers who ate the lettuce in the two weeks before falling ill should see a doctor and discard any recalled products — with best-by dates extending into early August. Taco Bell has pulled the lettuce nationwide as a precaution. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
