The first deaths linked to the nationwide cyclosporiasis outbreak have been reported in Michigan, where more than 11,000 people have fallen ill. The two victims died after experiencing “significant underlying health conditions that may have been impacted by cyclosporiasis and dehydration,” according to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. Cyclosporiasis is caused by Cyclospora, a parasite found in human feces, which can cause prolonged diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration. RFK Jr. has pioneered ‘Make America Healthy Again’ but denounces vaccines and the severity of the cyclosporiasis outbreak. Investigators later linked some illnesses to a Taco Bell location supplied with Taylor Farms lettuce sourced from central Mexico.
