Cyclospora is a parasite that can cause illness. People may become sick after eating food or drinking water that has been contaminated. Cyclospora has sometimes been linked to fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

Help reduce your risk:

β€’ Wash hands before preparing food.
β€’ Rinse produce under running water.
β€’ Scrub firm produce with a clean brush.
β€’ Refrigerate cut produce within two hours.
β€’ Do not use soap or bleach on produce.

Washing produce can help remove dirt and some germs, but it may not remove all Cyclospora. Cooking produce is the best way to destroy the parasite.

The most common symptom is frequent, watery diarrhea. Other symptoms may include stomach cramps, nausea, tiredness, loss of appetite, bloating, and weight loss. Contact a healthcare provider if you have symptoms.
