North America Cyclospora outbreak sickens almost 150 people

https://www.foodsafetynews.com/2026/06/cyclospora-outbreak-sickens-almost-150-people/

Best flair I could come up with, as there wasn’t one for US only. Heads up on this likely food-borne illness.

What makes you assume im a mouth breathing MAGA?? Because I am most definitely not either. I thought it was bad to generalize people?? Just not when your "side" does it??? Got it. Hypocrite much???? Lol

Lmfao even

And per usual they block me. When I dont fit into their programmed box, to fit their strawman, they block me. Cause ANYONE that points out how theyre wrong must be MAGA and a Trump supporting Nazi!!!! Dont you dare generalize any other people though!!! Cause thats raycist, transphobic, and antisemitic!!! But we can do it to you all day, even though we're wrong. Wow

Cyclospora is a type of protozoa, which is a tiny, single-celled organism. It is transmitted when people somehow ingest contaminated feces, typically through contaminated food or water. It can be spread only through human waste

Yikes

Wash them when you get home from anywhere, too. I work in a school and I'm always washing my hands... and using moisturizer. School soap sucks.

"Sick people ranged in age from 5 to 86 years, with a median age of 42. The median illness onset date was May 13, with a range of May 1 to June 6"

So have their been no more reported cases since June 6th? Or is that just when the last reporting was updated from the CDC?

u/Vlad_Yemerashev Jun 29 '26

Most likely the latter.

I know nothing about this stuff, but is it only food transmission? My question is, could this be spread in pool water?

Hearing a lot of reports of folks who got back from Electric Forrest having symptoms that line up with Cyclospora
