Summary
Allegheny County’s reporting 11 cyclospora cases — a nasty parasite causing watery diarrhea that can linger for weeks — as health officials team up with state and federal agencies to trace connections amid a nationwide outbreak now hitting over 30 states with more than 1,600 confirmed cases. While rarely fatal, symptoms can last a month or more without treatment — but a simple antibiotic fixes it. With summer heat making symptoms worse, experts urge extreme caution: wash all produce, discard bruised items, chill it, cook to 158°F, and sanitize surfaces and hands. No single food source has been identified yet — so extra care with your grub is key. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
