## Resource

North Carolina’s facing a major cyclosporiasis outbreak with 307 confirmed cases and 13 hospitalizations since May 1st — more than the past two years combined, mostly in Wake County. Officials say it’s not tied to the recent Taco Bell scare and are racing to trace the contaminated source. The parasite hides in raw produce; rinsing helps but doesn’t eliminate it — cooking to 165°F kills it, but that’s not always possible for salads. Health experts urge caution with raw lettuce, parsley, and cilantro until the source is found, with case updates every Tuesday. Stay alert — what you eat matters.
