Cyclosporiasis cases in Michigan climb to 11,508 in ongoing outbreak
Utah health officials said 48 cases were reported since May 1, while the CDC investigates about 18,000 cases nationwide.
- The Utah Department of Health and Human Services reported Tuesday that 48 cases of cyclosporiasis have been reported in the state since May 1, marking the first time the intestinal illness has appeared in Utah during this summer's outbreak.
- Nationwide, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is investigating approximately 18,000 cases as the outbreak spreads. Two deaths have been linked to the ongoing Michigan outbreak, though health officials note such outcomes are rare for this gastrointestinal illness.
- According to the agency, 31 people with confirmed cyclosporiasis traveled outside the country and 12 traveled to other states. Only five cases involved individuals who remained within Utah, indicating exposure occurred primarily outside the state.
- Health officials recommend consumers buy whole heads of lettuce rather than pre-washed options, discard outer layers before preparation, and thoroughly wash inner leaves. For greens that can be cooked, heating to at least 158 degrees is the safest option.
- Several products linked to the illness were recalled in recent weeks following the initial outbreak. However, none of the recalled products reached Utah, according to health officials, who continue monitoring the situation.
