Michigan’s cyclosporiasis outbreak surges past 570 cases, with hotspots in Wayne, Oakland, and Monroe counties. Health officials urge caution with produce linked to past outbreaks — bagged salads, cilantro, basil, raspberries, snow peas, and green onions. Spread via contaminated food or water, not person-to-person, symptoms like watery diarrhea and cramps appear 2–14 days after exposure. Wash all produce thoroughly, or cook high-risk items like raspberries. Seek medical help if diarrhea persists — treatable with antibiotics, symptoms last days to months.
