Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Spreads Across the US: Bay Area Residents Affected A growing outbreak of cyclosporiasis, a parasitic infection that causes severe diarrhea, has been reported in the United States, with cases now confirmed in California. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the outbreak is spreading rapidly, leaving health officials scrambling to identify the source and contain the spread. Cyclosporiasis is typically associated with contaminated food and water, and symptoms can include explosive diarrhea, stomach cramps, and fatigue.
