Salad greens scrutinized as cyclosporiasis outbreak spreads

Salad greens and lettuces are emerging as a likely source of a nationwide cyclosporiasis outbreak, with Michigan reporting 2,640 cases and 44 hospitalizations as of Monday. The CDC confirms 843 cases across 31 states, but state officials note this is an undercount. Symptoms include severe diarrhea and stomach cramps caused by the cyclospora parasite, often contracted through contaminated food.
