A new outbreak of the “explosive diarrhea” parasite cyclospora is under investigation by federal officials as more than 12,000 total cases have been reported across the nation.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is investigating another outbreak linked to at least 72 of the nation’s cases. It’s unclear what product may be implicated in the outbreak but the agency said Wednesday that it had “initiated traceback” in an attempt to find the origin of the parasitic illnesses.
