Cyclosporiasis causes severe gastrointestinal illness but is rarely fatal. The scale of this outbreak—over 1,600 cases—suggests a widespread contamination source in the supply chain. Lettuce and salad greens are distributed nationally, so the geographic spread makes sense. The main risk is to vulnerable populations: young children, elderly people, and those with compromised immune systems.
