First U S Deaths from Cyclosporiasis
The Michigan Department of Health reported two deaths caused by Cyclospora disease, marking one of the largest outbreaks of the illness in the United States, which has been reported across nine states and is linked to imported mango products from Taylor Farms in Mexico. The outbreak has resulted in over 11,200 cases, including 193 hospitalizations. The illness is generally not life-threatening but has affected patients with serious health conditions, with symptoms such as diarrhea and nausea. Authorities are still investigating other potential sources of the disease, which is caused by the Cyclospora parasite, amid a steady increase in reported cases.
