We do know it's how it's been spread before.
Because cyclosporiasis is actually seasonal.
There are cases every year, just not at the scale we're seeing right now.
So we do know some things about it.
In the 1990 outbreak, the culprit was drinking water at the resident's dormitory.
Beyond that, the CDC notes that previous outbreaks are generally linked to fresh produce.
In 2018, it was a salad at McDonald's.
Raspberries, basil, cilantro, snow peas, and lettuce have all been culprits in the past, according to the FDA.
OK, so like what can we do?
Well, Nate, you want to make sure none of your produce has been recalled by checking the FDA website and wash your hands with soap and water before handling your fruits and veggies.
And make sure you wash your produce with uncontaminated water, even if the package says it's pre-washed.
Vinegar and other popular chemical washes don't work, but cooking will kill it.
Yeah, my brother too.
Yeah, we all have one.
It depends on who you talk to.
Rebecca Wertz, the doctor we heard from earlier, would say your kid is onto something, at least this one time.
But I talked to another physician, Kawasar Talat, who isn't as worried.
So Kawazar is an infectious disease doctor and an associate professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.
And she says most healthy adults don't need to worry.
So it's a small round parasite.
