## Resource

Hundreds across Kansas and Missouri are sickened by a nasty parasite, cyclospora, with leafy greens under investigation as the likely source. Symptoms can linger for weeks, making daily life miserable. Tracking the outbreak is tough because symptoms appear weeks after exposure — by then, the contaminated produce is often off shelves. Some shoppers are turning to local farms, thinking smaller = safer, but experts caution that farm size doesn’t guarantee safety — it’s about sanitation practices. Cyclospora isn’t animal- or person-to-person transmitted, but contamination from human waste is the culprit. The outbreak is a wake-up call, not a reason to avoid produce — it’s about smarter food safety from farm to fork.
