Ohio Health Officials Report Surge in Cyclosporiasis Cases Linked to Leafy Greens
Ohio is experiencing a significant increase in cyclosporiasis cases, a parasitic infection linked to leafy greens, with nearly 4,000 cases reported since June 1. The Ohio Department of Health has identified Lucas, Cuyahoga, and Wood counties as the most affected areas. Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff, the state's health director, highlighted the alarming rise in cases and urged the public to maintain proper food hygiene. The CDC has traced some infections to iceberg lettuce from central Mexico, prompting a recall by Taylor Farms. The investigation is ongoing, with the state collaborating with federal agencies to identify the outbreak's source.
