Cyclospora, a parasite causing “explosive diarrhea,” is spreading in the US, including Michigan, New York, Texas. Authorities are trying to find the cause.
If you think you may have cyclosporiasis, you should see your doctor for a stool test, where your provider can test for the parasite. If untreated, the CDC says, the illness can last for over a month with relapsing symptoms.
A cyclosporiasis outbreak in the state of Michigan has surpassed the 1,000 cases milestone. As of July 9, the state has 1,251 cases statewide, according to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
No specific produce grower, supplier or type of produce has been identified as the source of the outbreak. More Videos
