## Resource

Over 11,000 Americans across 41 states are sickened by a record-breaking cyclospora outbreak tied to contaminated iceberg lettuce from Mexico — a parasite causing brutal, weeks-long stomach agony and lingering fatigue. Experts blame lax sanitation practices, while industry safety groups like the Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement, though stricter than federal rules, still can’t fully prevent contamination. Meanwhile, government oversight is crumbling: budget cuts, disbanded advisory panels, and a delayed traceability rule until 2028 leave us dangerously blind to where the next outbreak might start.
