Latest update from USA Today from 4 days ago. Here is also CDC’ s update on the confirmed cases as of July 13th, 2026: https://www.cdc.gov/cyclosporiasis/php/surveillance/index.html
My question to others on here: For those who are located in the marked states with the higher cases, have you heard anything or seen any postage in grocery stores, hospitals, restaurants, anything about warning on increasing hygiene practices for prevention of Cyclosporiasis? I’ve not heard anything since first reading about this, I have family who work in the trucking industry, hospitals, and sales ( to name a few), and I have heard zero heads up or warnings about this.
Cases are increasing but there is lag between lab recorded data and data collected from the hospitals. Here is USA today with CDCs data as of July 13th 2026.
Restaurants and fast food chains have taken precautions: good on them, they need to, but there is no word of mouth on anything. Will still keep following up on the news of this.
Here in MI with the huge numbers and I was just in a Aldi yesterday. No signs or warnings. Have the traced the source yet?
Yeah my coworker got the parasite couple weeks ago, he’s still dealing with it. We go to various grocery stores pretty much every week and there are no posted warnings or notices anywhere.
was it only watery diarrhea or did it include fever.
Both I think
I’ve heard rumors about lettuce, but that’s unverified word-of-mouth
It’s being reported by news sources that lettuce and/or salad greens are a suspect, but it’s not entirely certain yet. I’ll be cooking all my veggies and greens for a while.
Ugh. Here I was planning on having a salad for lunch. You can’t cook salad greens.
Braised collard greens. Chicken stock, onion and garlic, sautee those first in some bacon and bacon fat if that’s your thing. Delicious. Not exactly a quick lunch but it’s a great dish to meal prep.
Edit: don’t forget a splash of vinegar at the end.
Berries as well, but again, nothing confirmed.
Creepy, had to visit the US for business reasons and happy that I at least wasn’t in the MI area.
Edit: wouldn’t have touched the US with a ten mile pole during this shit stain and fascist government, just had to because of work.
CDC was also mentioned about 440 others from out of the country, that got sick from whatever they consumed that was during the lag period of testing? (If im understanding that correctly) problem is, we’re they all eating lettuce? Where did they traveled to, who and what they were in contact with? Haven’t seen any reports on those who were went out lf the country and came back sick.
If you look on the CDC website for their questionnaire, question 14 begins a section about travel in the past two weeks. If the respondee replies that they travelled outside of the US or Canada, the interview ends. Apparently CDC assumes that if you have the bacteria and travelled abroad, there’s a 100% chance you were infected there.
Their wording of that is so confusing. Did they get sick during the 14 days before traveling, but showed no symptoms? Did they show symptoms but still traveled anyway, or after the 14 days they came back and were fine but later got sick. CDC is not being specific but all of those questions should be getting answered and their statement of that is very vague.
That is where the confusion always go towards and to me, it sounds like they automatically are assuming that this is coming from overseas, whihc is very bias.
