A growing Cyclospora outbreak linked to recalled iceberg lettuce has spread across nine U.S. states, raising concerns among health officials as infections continue to climb. More than 11,000 cases have now been reported nationwide since mid-May, with Michigan recording the largest number of illnesses. The parasite causes cyclosporiasis, an intestinal infection that can trigger severe and persistent diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, and fatigue. Health authorities are urging consumers to avoid recalled iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico while investigations continue. Although early testing suggested a connection to contaminated lettuce, officials later withdrew one positive test result, emphasizing that tracing the exact source remains challenging. Experts say the parasite's long incubation period makes it difficult to identify where people were exposed, meaning the investigation could take months. As the outbreak expands, public health agencies continue monitoring cases and advising consumers to follow food safety updates to reduce the risk of infection.
