Cyclospora has been reported in Indiana, and health officials say the outbreak is larger than what’s typical.
Local doctors are urging residents to know the warning signs.
Cyclospora is a foodborne parasite linked to fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly pre-packaged salads and raw produce.
The illness causes watery, explosive diarrhea that can last one to two weeks.
Those who develop a fever or persistent vomiting are urged to seek medical care.
Experts say washing your fresh fruits and vegetables before eating them should eliminate the problem.
