Cyclosporiasis surge to 45 states tied to iceberg lettuce recall

CDC reports 6,707 lab-confirmed cyclosporiasis cases across 45 states since May 1, with 423 hospitalizations and no deaths; more than 11,500 additional cases remain unconfirmed by laboratories, as federal tallies lag state reports. The largest outbreak centers on Michigan and is linked to recalled iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms in central Mexico, with nine states connected to that outbreak; multiple separate clusters are under investigation amid the parasite's long incubation period.
