  1. #Cyclosporiasis infections are surging. #Michigan officials say #lettuce is a possible cause

    Jul 14, 2026 3:54

    NEW YORK (AP) — "Infections from the diarrhea-causing parasite #cyclospora are surging, with state-level data suggesting that 2026 is already the nation's worst year for reported cases.

    "More than 30 states have reported infections this year, and current data from them shows the number of infections surpassing the record U.S. mark of about 4,700 set in 2019. The illness is not usually life threatening and is typically treated with antibiotics.

    "Health officials have not yet definitively identified what is causing the infections. On Tuesday, federal health officials said there may be different infection patterns in different places, although they believe cases in at least four states — Michigan, #Ohio, #Kentucky and #WestVirginia — are linked.

    Michigan officials blame lettuce

    "In Michigan — where more than 3,300 cases have been reported — officials say early information points to lettuce or salad greens as a possible culprit.

    "After conducting more than 1,000 interviews with patients, 'early information has shown lettuce as a common product that regularly comes up during the investigation,' said Natasha Bagdasarian, the Michigan health department's chief medical executive.

    "Because of that commonality and because produce has been behind some past cyclospora outbreaks, Michigan officials advised consumers to buy whole heads of lettuce, discard the outer layers and thoroughly wash what is left. They also suggested people avoid bagged lettuce and pre-mixed salad kits."
