Cyclospora Cases Surge in Massachusetts to 147 Amid Record National Outbreak
Massachusetts has reported 147 cyclospora cases in 2026, nearly double last year's total, with cases surging from 32 in June to 104 in July. Health officials have identified clusters linked to the national Taylor Farms lettuce recall but found no evidence of large in-state outbreaks. The national total has surpassed 22,000 cases with two deaths in Michigan, as experts warn the parasite may be challenging to eliminate through washing alone.
