    The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is currently investigating a multistate outbreak of Cyclospora – a microscopic parasite that is sickening people across the country.

    The exact cause of the outbreak is unknown, but history suggest fresh herbs, leafy greens, berries, and other produce could be – and often are – the culprit.

    While the culprit remains unknown, what we do know is that the symptoms from the parasite aren’t pretty:

    The parasite, cyclospora, spreads through raw produce and water contaminated with human feces – and it causes the intestinal illness cyclosporiasis, whose symptoms include cramps, nausea, fatigue, loss of appetite, low-grade fever and vomiting. The most commonly reported symptom is “watery diarrhea with frequent and sometimes explosive bowel movements”, according to the CDC.

    According to the CDC’s count (which doesn’t update daily) there have been 145 cases in 17 states:

    New York, Texas, Illinois and Michigan have been the hardest hit. Other states with reported cases include Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin.

    State-by-state data, which is newer and released more frequently than the CDC, shows the virus is spreading quickly:

    Outside the dates of the CDC’s count, health officials in Michigan have been investigating an unusually high number of cases in a “large and growing outbreak”. More than 300 cases had been reported since 22 June as of Friday, in a state that typically only identifies about 50 cases of cyclosporiasis annually, according to its health department.

    And since 1 May, New York has seen 107 cases. It typically records 500 to 700 cases statewide annually, according to the New York state health department. Health officials in New York City report that cases there roughly doubled from January through June compared to the same period in 2025, according to the New York Times.

    The Treatment

    While the cause of this outbreak is unknown, the good news is that we do know what the treatment is – trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole more commonly known as Bactrim.

    Bactrim not only treats cyclospora infections but is the recommended treatment for a range of other GI and bacterial infections.

    The Georgia Record was relaunched in June of 2021 and has been extremely successful fighting corruption in the state named after King George of England. The original paper was started in 1899 and published into the early 20th century. In 2020, CDM (Creative Destruction Media) acquired Johns Creek Post and brought back The Georgia Record to better represent the state rather than just Johns Creek News.
