Federal health officials have investigated 5 different clusters of cyclosporiasis cases, FDA says

Federal health officials have been probing five separate clusters of cyclosporiasis cases since May, signaling a possible outbreak linked to contaminated food or water. Cyclosporiasis is a parasitic infection that can cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms. This investigation by the FDA underscores the importance of food safety monitoring, especially as the parasite season ramps up. With these clusters identified, officials are working to determine the source and prevent further infections, highlighting the need for vigilance in public health surveillance.
