Aug. 6 (UPI) -- The cyclosporiasis outbreak in Michigan has begun to slow as health officials say people can resume taking normal precautions when consuming lettuce and salad greens.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services announced Thursday that Michiganders can "resume routine guidance" for lettuce and salad greens.

MDHHS has lifted its recommendation to avoid bagged salad mixes.

Michigan has been a hotspot in the cyclosporiasis outbreak, reporting 12,485 cases since June.
