CDC Probes Multi-State Cyclosporiasis Outbreak in the U.S.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is investigating a significant increase in cyclosporiasis cases, an intestinal infection, reported across 18 U.S. states. This parasitic illness, often linked to contaminated fresh produce, causes symptoms like watery diarrhea and loss of appetite. Health officials are monitoring the situation and advising on treatment options, though many healthy individuals recover without specific medication.
