## Resource

A massive cyclospora outbreak is sweeping across the U.S., with over 1,500 cases in Michigan and investigations underway in 30 other states — one of the largest in years, though thankfully no deaths have been reported. This parasite, which causes debilitating watery diarrhea, often hides in fresh produce and spreads via contaminated water or food chains. Pinpointing the exact source can take months — or never happen. Experts urge simple but vital steps: wash hands thoroughly with soap and water (alcohol sanitizers won’t work), scrub produce carefully — separate leafy greens, trim roots on green onions — and cook to 158°F to kill the parasite. Vinegar rinses help remove it but don’t destroy it. For tricky items like berries or broccoli, cooking is safer than eating raw. Don’t panic — fruits and veggies are still essential for health — just stay vigilant with hygiene. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
