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.

    Its like that other lettuce outbreak we had years ago, but it was with Ecoli. I remember them removing all of it from the stores when that year hit, it was bad. this time, absolutely nothing go on. Its weird.

      It’s not weird. It’s exactly what people warned was going to happen when DOGE and RFK Jr started slashing staff at the CDC and FDA and shutting down inspection and response teams.
