The illness is caused by the cyclospora parasite, which enters the body through contaminated produce.
If you're unlucky enough to ingest it, you may get stuck with weeks of watery diarrhea as well as "frequent and sometimes explosive bowel movements," according to the CDC.
The exact source of this massive outbreak isn't yet known, but it helps to know what foods have been linked to cyclospora in the past.
