Stay up to date with notifications from The IndependentNotifications can be managed in browser preferences.AllNewsSportCultureLifestyle(Getty/iStock)A cyclospora parasite causing "explosive diarrhea" is rapidly spreading across the U.S., with Michigan experiencing the most significant increase in cases. Michigan has reported over 700 cases, up from 572 over the weekend, while Ohio has 177 cases and North Carolina has 110, with other states also affected. Cyclosporiasis is contracted by consuming contaminated produce or water, leading to symptoms such as watery diarrhea, cramping, bloating, and fatigue that can last over a month if untreated. Although not usually life-threatening, the illness can cause severe dehydration and is treated with sulfa drugs, rest, and plenty of fluids. Federal data indicates at least 20 hospitalizations and 145 cases reported to the CDC so far, with public health authorities investigating several clusters across multiple states.
