Ohio Cyclospora cases exceed 4000
A nationwide outbreak of cyclosporiasis, caused by the parasite cyclospora cayetanensis, has resulted in over 6,700 confirmed cases across 45 states since May, with Ohio reporting more than 4,000 cases this year. The illness leads to symptoms such as explosive diarrhea and has resulted in hundreds of hospitalizations, primarily affecting counties in Ohio and Michigan, with a significant link to contaminated produce from Mexico. Federal health authorities are investigating multiple outbreaks, including one connected to lettuce from a produce supplier, and recommend proper food-handling practices to reduce infection risk.
