## Resource

A major cyclosporiasis outbreak linked to shredded iceberg lettuce from California supplier Taylor Farms is sickening thousands nationwide, with Taco Bell pulling affected lettuce from stores—though cases extend beyond its locations. Health officials trace infections across multiple states, hinting at broader contamination, while the CDC investigates potential sources and patterns. The parasite causes severe diarrhea but is treatable—yet no one wants to deal with it, especially when it’s hiding in plain sight on a taco.
