Don’t skip fruits and veggies amid cyclosporiasis outbreak, but take precautions, health official says

Health officials advise continuing to consume fresh fruits and vegetables during a cyclosporiasis outbreak but recommend precautions like thorough washing and cooking to reduce infection risk. Over 30 U.S. states have reported cyclospora cases surpassing 2019 records, though no deaths have been reported. CDC data lags behind state reports, and the source of the parasite remains unclear.
