Could your salad be the source? Health officials in Michigan released a statement on Monday stating that lettuce and salad greens might be behind the growing cyclosporiasis outbreak. While investigators say early evidence points to lettuce as a likely source, they have not identified a specific brand, grower, or supplier, and the investigation remains ongoing. To reduce your risk, experts recommend washing produce under running water, practicing good hand hygiene, refrigerating cut produce promptly, and cooking vegetables when possible, since heat is more effective than washing at killing the parasite. #cyclosporiasis #publichealth #lettuce #salad #midwest
