Map Tracks Spread of ‘Explosive’ Diarrhea Illness Across the US
Cases of cyclosporiasis, a parasitic illness causing explosive diarrhea, are rapidly spreading across the United States, with at least 843 confirmed cases in 31 states since May 1. Michigan reports the highest number, surpassing its expected annual cases, while other states report hundreds of cases, with some under investigation. The CDC attributes the rise to contaminated produce and emphasizes that the infection commonly spreads through contaminated food and surfaces, especially during the summer months. Officials recommend proper food handling, handwashing, and avoiding potentially contaminated water to prevent infection.
