Sounds Familiar

Where have I heard of cyclospora?But this summer, with cases of diarrhea caused by a microscopic parasite called cyclospora climbing across several states, you may want to take extra care with how you prepare your produce and where you swim.The epicenter of an outbreak is Michigan, where more than 1,200 people have fallen ill. Ohio has also seen nearly 200 cases. Other states, including New York, Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, and Texas have also reported a jump in cases, although it’s not clear whether they’re all part of the same outbreak. More than 40 people have been hospitalized.Oh.As of July 1, the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) program has reduced surveillance to just two pathogens: salmonella and Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), a spokesperson for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told NBC News.Before July, the program had been tracking infections caused by six additional pathogens: campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and Yersinia. Some of them can lead to severe or life-threatening illnesses, particularly for newborns and people who are pregnant or have weakened immune systems.

‘Explosive’ Diarrhea Parasite Cases Rocket in Alarming Outbreak

Smith Collection/Getty ImagesCases of cyclosporiasis, a parasitic infection behind bouts of “explosive,” watery diarrhea, have rocketed nationwide, with Michigan reporting almost 700. Michigan counted 678 cases by Monday—a near-fourfold leap from the 170 tallied less than a week earlier, and roughly 14 times its usual annual total of 50. Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, Michigan’s chief medical executive, warned that the count is “a moving target,” pointing to the gap between when someone eats tainted food and the onset of symptoms. Nationally, the CDC flagged well over 400 infections across 18 states last Friday and labeled the clusters “alarming,” while stressing that there is no evidence the outbreaks share a single nationwide source. The parasite travels through water and uncooked produce fouled with human waste, and can take up to two weeks to make someone ill. A 2022 flare-up in Florida was traced to bagged salad kits. Ohio has seen its own spike, with 177 cases by July 2, 171 of which have been reported since June 20. The outbreak has caused no fatalities, and officials advise cooking produce or rinsing it thoroughly under the tap.Read it at GuardianRead more at The Daily Beast.
