· KRGV (NBC 5)
In Michigan, nearly 1,000 cases of cyclospora infections have been reported, marking the largest outbreak in the state's history. The infections, which can cause severe diarrhea, have led to about 40 hospitalizations, but no fatalities have been recorded. The outbreak began in late June, with the number of cases rising from 170 to 992 within a week. Investigations are ongoing in 28 other states, including Ohio, where over 300 cases have been confirmed. Health officials recommend washing fresh produce thoroughly and suggest avoiding prewashed items as they may carry the parasite.
