## Resource

Cyclospora outbreak just hit a new high — now in nine U.S. states, with over 4,100 confirmed cases and 98 hospitalized. CDC blames Taco Bell’s shredded lettuce, tracing it to Taylor Farms’ Mexican-grown iceberg lettuce, though Mexico says no contamination found there. Another separate outbreak with 72 cases remains unsolved. This parasite, spread via contaminated water in produce, causes brutal stomach issues — and officials warn the real number of sick people is likely much higher. The investigation is far from over, and more sources could be linked. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
