- North Carolina reaches over 700 cases of cyclosporiasis: What to know
North Carolina reported 718 total cyclosporiasis cases as of July 28, with 157 new cases since July 21. Health officials linked local cases to foods like parsley, cilantro, and lettuce but confirmed no connection to the Taco Bell-related outbreak in other states. The FDA previously identified a lettuce supplier as a potential source but later retracted the finding due to a false positive.
