The first US deaths from the "explosive" diarrhea parasite outbreak have been confirmed. Michigan's Health Department reports 2 fatalities from cyclosporiasis while both patients had underlying health conditions. Officials call deaths from the illness "uncommon" and say it's generally not life-threatening. These deaths are part of the bigger outbreak linked to shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms, sold at Taco Bell and other stores 🥬 The parasite spreads through food/water contaminated with human feces, causing severe diarrhea, cramps, and in rare cases, deadly dehydration. #Cyclosporiasis #FoodSafety #TaylorFarms #HealthNews #outbreak
