If you've seen recent headlines about Cyclospora outbreaks in the U.S. and are suddenly side-eyeing your lunch, you're not alone.
Cyclospora is a parasite that can cause a foodborne illness called cyclosporiasis, often linked to contaminated fresh produce. Symptoms may include:
Nausea
Frequent diarrhea
Stomach cramps
Fatigue
Low-grade fever
The tricky part? Symptoms may not show up until several days, or over a week, after exposure.
The good news: cyclosporiasis is treatable, and you don't have to spend hours searching your symptoms online trying to figure out what's going on.
If you're experiencing persistent gastrointestinal symptoms, AFC can evaluate your condition, help determine the cause, and recommend appropriate treatment so you can get back to feeling like yourself again.
Because the only thing that should be running this summer is your vacation itinerary.
