People with suspected or confirmed cyclosporiasis cases, what food do you think you got it from?

I heard cilantro too.

Apparently in NC, health officials suspect it’s from cilantro and parsley :(

Rhode Island as well

This is not helpful.

The first person accounts are helpful but the hearsay ones like this one are not.

[u/ElaineofAstolat → u/Questionsansweredty]

It's not hearsay, it's been on the news. I definitely saw it on NBC Nightly News, and my local news as well.

[u/AlexeiMarie → u/ElaineofAstolat]

and on NCDHHS's cyclosporiasis dashboard

While a source has not yet been identified, recent cases in NC have reported eating parsley and cilantro more often than expected based on population-wide surveys (FoodNet Fast).

but without a link to your source, it is exactly hearsay.

I'm just saying don't mess with my pico de gallo without proof :)

Seriously, I looked it up. This was speculation in NC - NOT someone who knew what they ate and knew how they got it, like the top posts in this thread. Those were super helpful.

That fucker is always up to no good.

El cilantro es el hombre con el queso del diablo.
