Remember my post "US Explosive Diarrhoea Outbreak" on Thursday? Well, the foodborne illness is actually a lot worse!
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state health officials are tracking a record-breaking outbreak of cyclosporiasis, with total reported illnesses now exceeding 11,000 cases across 41 US states. The bulk of the surge is concentrated in the Midwest, particularly in Michigan (which has reported over 7,100 cases) and Ohio.
Health officials explicitly warn that the true number of infections is likely much higher.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are actively investigating five separate clusters of illnesses. One major outbreak has been epidemiologically linked to shredded iceberg lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms, leading to voluntary product recalls.
However, the FDA have also launched an investigation into a separate outbreak from an unidentified source, meaning case counts are expected to keep rising.
