CDC Investigates Surge in Cyclospora Parasite Cases as Victims Share Symptom Accounts

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has flagged a sharp rise in cyclosporiasis infections, with more than 1,600 confirmed cases recorded since early May. Another 5,100 suspected infections are under review, marking a notable jump over typical seasonal numbers. The microscopic parasite, commonly linked to contaminated produce or water, triggers severe digestive issues and has drawn renewed attention during the current summer months. In an interview, civil rights lawyer Chase Strangio recounts falling ill after a standard workday meal in New York City. He details how the infection unfolded and disrupted his routine, offering a human face to the agency's raw data. Meanwhile, clinicians weigh in on recognizing initial warning signs and pursuing proper care while the outbreak continues to expand.
