Cyclospora outbreak in nine US states
Cyclospora infection linked to iceberg lettuce from central Mexico has led to the largest outbreak in U.S. history, with over 11,000 cases reported across 41 states. Nine states, including Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and West Virginia, have confirmed cases, with Michigan being the hardest hit. Authorities recommended avoiding recalled iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms, which had tested positive for cyclospora, though the source of the outbreak remains under investigation. The process of tracing the infection source is expected to be slow due to the difficulty in identifying the parasite's origin.
