County Warns of Cyclospora Cases

Health officials in St. Clair County are warning about four local cyclospora cases as Michigan’s outbreak grows to more than 1,500 infections. The parasite causes long-lasting diarrhea, cramps, nausea, and fatigue, and doctors say it spreads through contaminated food or water, not from person to person. Officials say fresh produce is the main concern, and they recommend washing produce well, trimming leafy greens, and cooking foods when possible. Anyone with severe or lasting symptoms should seek medical care.
