This Podcast Will Kill You · Ep 216 Cyclospora: Explosive Diarrhea Everywhere · 21 Jul 2026 podcast

So the only way to actually rid them of, let's say, our water sources if, you know, poop is contaminating water sources is with physical filtration to literally remove them, get them stuck on a filter or with like UV filtration.

What about like boiling?

Boiling will do it.

Yes.

So heat does kill them.

Same thing with cooking your foods, if your foods and food can get contaminated, both because the soil can be contaminated.

If you're using reclaimed water or, you know, unfiltered water to irrigate your crops, then they can get contaminated that way.

And apparently they're quite sticky, the oocysts.

And so they really glom on to, let's say, the tiny bumps and hairs covering a raspberry.

So glad you asked.

That's the next thing I have written, Erin.

So the incubation period, usually it's about a week, but it could be as short as two days.

It could be as long as two weeks.

But on average, it's a week, which for a foodborne infection is a very long time.

Super long time.

And we'll talk about the importance of that when we talk about tracing what was the source of this outbreak, right?

Right, right.

It's also very possible and very probably more common than we know that people have asymptomatic infections.

So they're not getting sick at all.

Does not mean that they're not infecting others because they can still be excreting oocysts in their stool.
