Parasite Outbreak Sickens People In 17 States, Including NJ

Federal health officials are investigating a cyclosporiasis outbreak that has sickened at least 145 people across 17 states, including New Jersey, with cases reported between May 1 and June 16. Symptoms include watery diarrhea, nausea, and fatigue that can drag on for weeks, and the CDC says the actual case count is likely higher since some people recover without ever getting tested.
