## Resource

Michigan’s facing a major cyclosporiasis outbreak with over 2,600 confirmed cases—way up from the usual 40-50 annually. Health officials blame lettuce and salad greens, though no specific grower has been identified yet. They urge consumers to buy whole heads of lettuce, discard outer leaves, and cook greens whenever possible to kill the parasite. Symptoms include watery diarrhea, nausea, and cramps, sometimes appearing up to two weeks after exposure. Other implicated produce includes cilantro, basil, raspberries, snow peas, and green onions. Recreational swimming isn’t a risk. Stay safe by washing and cooking greens thoroughly as officials continue their investigation.
