The cyclospora parasite is spreading through fresh produce in 31 states, and standard stool tests miss it. Here is what you actually need to do, including the food-washing protocol I use with clients.
The point about the standard stool panel missing it entirely is the part most coverage skips — telling people to "ask specifically for modified acid-fast staining or PCR" is genuinely useful and actionable. And the detail about FoodNet being scaled back to voluntary monitoring in 2025 explains the two-month lag in a way I hadn't seen connected anywhere else. The baking soda soak is the one swap I think most people will actually adopt.
