Local health departments across Michigan are investigating the cyclosporiasis outbreak

Local health departments across Michigan are investigating the cyclosporiasis outbreak

Suggested social media caption:

Cyclosporiasis is spreading in Michigan now, especially in the Southeast, and may cause diarrhea, nausea, abdominal cramping, and fatigue. Health officials are actively investigating what is causing the outbreak to give communities answers as soon as possible. Available information shows that lettuce or salad greens may be a potential source of this outbreak, and some shredded lettuce has been recalled in Michigan. However, other food items cannot be completely ruled out. Cooking any produce is the safest way to decrease your risk of exposure, as washing alone may not get rid of the contamination.

You may get a call from your local health department if you’ve seen a doctor with cyclosporiasis symptoms. Any information you choose to share is an important way to track the source and help keep our communities safe.
