Two Microscopic Parasites Cause Widespread Diarrheal Illness Across America
- More than 10,000 cases of a parasitic disease causing "explosive diarrhea" have been reported across over 40 states, with Michigan hardest hit at 6,148 confirmed cases.
- On Tuesday, the CDC reported 400 cases across Michigan, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio are likely linked, with agency data lagging six weeks behind actual illness onset.
- Symptoms typically appear within two days to two weeks after exposure, New York health officials advise; heating food to 158 degrees Fahrenheit kills the parasite.
- Under the Trump administration, FoodNet made tracking cyclospora optional; Acting Deputy Commissioner for Food Donald Prater said Monday this did not alter outbreak investigation data.
- CDC Deputy Director Gwen Biggerstaff previously told reporters case counts could continue rising through August as the agency processes incoming data using established systems.
