Cyclospora infections are rising across more than 40 states, with Michigan the hardest hit; CDC data show hundreds hospitalized among about 1,600 confirmed cases, as investigators probe possible produce-linked sources (including reports involving Taco Bell ingredients), with no definitive source yet identified. Health officials stress proper cooking and thorough cleaning of produce to reduce risk and warn that cases could continue to rise through the summer.
