#cyclospora
We don’t yet know the source for these cases, but this parasite often has outbreaks related to fresh produce. If you are concerned you could be impacted, please call your doctor or head to the ER! And make sure you wash your produce (don’t soak it!) #outbreak #cyclospora #cyclosporiasis #diarrhea #parasite

I know the cyclospora outbreak is scary, but skipping fruits and veggies is scarier for you in the long run*.
Here’s how to stay safer without giving them up:
1. Scrub first and Peel when you can: cucumbers, carrots, apples, oranges, etc.
2. Wash everything well with cool water, and scrub firm produce (like melons and cucumbers) with a clean brush.
Note: no wash, including vinegar, fully removes this parasite. Washing works best PAIRED WITH peeling or cooking, not necessarily on its own.
3. Cook when you can. Heat above 158°F kills the parasite.
4. Skip pre-washed bags and salad kits, even if you rinse them again.
When buying salad, Choose whole heads. Pull off the outer leaves, then wash and prep.
5. Wash your hands before and after touching raw produce, and clean cutting boards and surfaces after use.
6. If you want to be extra careful, you can avoid raspberries, cilantro, basil, spinach, salad kits, and snow peas for now. These have been linked to past outbreaks.
That still leaves plenty of produce like asparagus, peppers, onion, apples, bananas, oranges, artichokes, cauliflower, etc to eat and enjoy.
*Always talk to your doctor if you’re pregnant, immunocompromised, or have more questions and concerns.

I fear I may have been hit! Praying that this is just a regular tummy ache and not the real thing.
No but for real—they said symptoms could hit 2 weeks later…so like 2 weeks ago I was downing bagged salads and fresh produce man. Like veggies are my life. I haven’t given my kids anything since I found out and my oldest keeps saying his belly hurts and my middle has been going number 2 like a maniac! Here lately my stomach been super upset…think I’m just paranoid and this is all just ironic…but lawd, haaaallllpppp!

Fourteen days ago, my life changed. What I thought would pass in a day or two turned into weeks of GI issues, losing 15 pounds, missing out on life, and multiple ER visits. I'm still searching for answers, but I'm choosing to trust God, listen to my body, and take healing one day at a time. If something doesn't feel right, please get checked. #Michigan #Cyclospora #GIHealth #HealingJourney #HealthAwareness
