Science Daily1 min read104 words
A growing Cyclospora outbreak has sickened more than 400 people across four states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The parasite, which is transmitted through contaminated food or water, has prompted state health departments to investigate potential sources and trace the spread of infection.
Investigators are still searching for the specific food item responsible for the outbreak, while the CDC cautions that the true number of cases is likely higher than reported. The agency urges anyone experiencing symptoms such as persistent diarrhea, stomach cramps, or fever to seek medical care promptly and to report their illness to local health authorities.
