Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Spreads Across US

The United States is facing a growing outbreak of cyclosporiasis, a gastrointestinal illness caused by a parasite, with nearly 3,000 reported cases.

The hardest-hit state is Michigan, where over 1,200 cases have been recorded, and 86 people nationwide have been hospitalized.

The parasite is often linked to contaminated fresh produce, and the CDC is urging caution for food safety.

The outbreak has strained public health resources as experts work to identify the source.
