Epic diarrhea outbreak has 40% of Americans avoiding fruits and veggies
摘要
美国食品药品监督管理局正在调查六起由环孢子虫引起的食源性腹泻疫情，该寄生虫可通过人类粪便污染新鲜农产品。疾控中心统计显示，全美41个州已报告超过11500例确诊和疑似病例，其中300多人住院，实际数字可能更高。最大规模疫情与泰勒农场供应给塔可钟等餐厅的冰山生菜有关，已波及九个州。另有五起疫情尚未查明源头。受此影响，约40%的美国人开始避免食用水果和蔬菜。
Anti-vaccine Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made it one of his top priorities to convince Americans to "eat real food," including more fresh fruits and vegetables. But, it's a hard sell when those real foods are causing real eruptions of explosive diarrhea across the country.
The Food and Drug Administration is investigating six outbreaks of foodborne diarrheal illnesses caused by Cyclospora, a unicellular parasite known for spreading from human feces onto fresh produce. Past outbreaks have been linked to leafy greens, fresh basil, fresh cilantro, snow peas, green onions, and raspberries. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has tallied a record high of over 11,500 confirmed and probable cases across 41 states, with over 300 requiring hospitalization. And that case total is almost certainly an undercount.
The largest of the outbreaks is linked to Taylor Farms' iceberg lettuce that was sold at Taco Bell restaurants and many other companies. The outbreak has sickened thousands of people across nine states, up from five states identified last week. One of the affected states is Michigan, which alone has reported 9,253 cases as of July 27. The other five outbreaks have no identified source.
