A rise in diarrhea cases across the United States is being attributed to cyclosporiasis, an infection caused by the *Cyclospora cayetanensis* parasite. This parasitic infection is causing concern among scientists due to the increasing number of reported illnesses. While the exact source of the outbreak is still under investigation, cyclosporiasis is typically contracted through the consumption of contaminated food or water. Symptoms include watery diarrhea, loss of appetite, weight loss, cramping, nausea, and fatigue. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is actively monitoring the situation and working to identify the source of the contamination. Public health officials advise thorough washing of fruits and vegetables and being cautious about water sources to prevent infection.
