Summary
North Carolina’s facing a major cyclosporiasis outbreak with over 300 cases and 13 hospitalizations since May 1st — Wake County’s the epicenter, but the crisis is spreading statewide. Health officials are zeroing in on parsley, cilantro, and lettuce as likely culprits, though the exact source remains unknown. This isn’t connected to the Taco Bell outbreak elsewhere. Experts warn raw produce may harbor the parasite, and washing alone won’t help — so restaurants and households are urged to either remove these items or cook them thoroughly to 165°F. Case updates drop every Tuesday — stay alert and keep your food safe. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
