Summary

CDC investigates a nationwide Cyclospora outbreak linked to shredded lettuce from select Taco Bell locations across five states—Hawaii remains unaffected, with no local cases tied to the outbreak. While one visitor tested positive after arriving, the infection occurred before travel, and risk here remains very low. Experts urge no panic: wash produce thoroughly with water, or use vinegar or baking soda solutions, and cook when possible. Cyclospora causes severe but treatable diarrhea. Local produce sales remain strong, and distributors are ramping up safety checks. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
