## Resource

Over 840 cases of cyclosporiasis have erupted across 31 states since May, caused by a microscopic parasite that enters through contaminated food or water—not person-to-person transmission. Symptoms strike 5–7 days later with brutal watery diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and stomach pain—so severe one Southern California woman called it the worst illness she’s ever endured. Without treatment, symptoms can linger for weeks, but antibiotics usually clear it up. No single food source has been identified this year, though past outbreaks tied to cilantro, raspberries, and leafy greens. Experts urge scrubbing produce under running water, peeling when possible, choosing whole lettuce over bags, and cooking when appropriate—making people rethink how they handle fresh food.
