Cyclospora Outbreak Linked to Iceberg Lettuce Expands Across U.S.

Health officials are warning that a cyclospora outbreak, potentially linked to iceberg lettuce, has spread to more U.S. states. Infections have been identified in at least 41 states this year, with investigators working to determine if more are part of the nine-state outbreak. The typical lag in reporting and testing complicates efforts to track and contain the parasitic illness, posing an ongoing public health concern.
