'Explosive diarrhea' parasite detected in California amid concerns of statewide surge
A cyclosporiasis outbreak caused by the parasite Cyclospora is spreading across the US, with California reporting between 1 and 10 cases linked to a larger statewide and nationwide increase. While most infections are imported through contaminated food or water, California has seen a significant rise in cases, prompting food recalls and restaurant withdrawals of fresh produce such as lettuce, cilantro, onions, and guacamole. The CDC has identified 2,944 cases across 32 states, with symptoms including diarrhea, nausea, and stomach pain typically appearing one week after exposure. Health officials continue investigation into the outbreak's source, but no specific food supplier has been identified.
