Cases of illness that causes explosive diarrhea on the rise across the U.S.

Cyclosporiasis cases, which cause severe diarrhea and are often linked to contaminated produce, are spiking in multiple U.S. states, with the greatest concentration in Michigan's southeast. The FDA is investigating the source, which remains unidentified, and illnesses have been reported in Ohio, North Carolina, Illinois, and New Jersey too. This rise is significant because it highlights potential issues in food safety and the need for vigilance in produce handling and consumption. Public health agencies are likely stepping up to monitor and manage this outbreak to prevent further spread.
