Cyclosporiasis surge hits 34 US states — symptoms, prevention and treatment

A surge of cyclosporiasis cases has been detected across 34 US states, caused by the intestinal parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis, which triggers diarrhoea and prolonged fatigue. Infection typically occurs through contaminated water or fresh produce such as herbs and berries. Doctors recommend seeking medical attention promptly, as antibiotic treatment is effective when started early.
