Summary
Kansas is facing a major cyclosporiasis outbreak with 55 active cases—up from 22 last week—with 37 in the U.S. and 17 linked to international travel. Health officials are racing to pinpoint the source, suspecting contaminated produce as the culprit. Since June 24, 30 new cases have emerged, compared to just 23 total last year. Nationwide, over 1,600 confirmed domestic cases are being tracked, with hundreds hospitalized. Symptoms include severe diarrhea, cramps, nausea, and weight loss, appearing days to weeks after exposure. Treatment is possible with antibiotics, but early medical attention is key. To stay safe, experts advise cooking produce or avoiding it altogether during outbreaks—just washing isn’t enough, especially for bruised items.
