Cyclosporiasis is an intestinal illness caused by the microscopic parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis. It spreads when people eat food or drink water contaminated with feces. The recent outbreak in the United States is linked to various types of fresh produce. You can help reduce the risk of cyclosporiasis by following food safety handling recommendations: 🧼 Wash your hands with soap and water before and after handling raw fruits and vegetables. 🍒 Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly under running water before eating, cutting, or cooking - even if it's labeled as pre-washed. Scrub firm fruits and vegetables, like melons and cucumbers, with a clean produce brush. Cut away any damaged or bruised areas on fruits and vegetables before preparing and eating. 🧊 Refrigerate cut, peeled, or cooked fruits and vegetables as soon as possible, within two hours.
