Michigan health officials just reported the first two deaths in a parasitic fast food outbreak that is currently sweeping through 47 statesMichigan health officials have confirmed the first two deaths linked to a widespread cyclosporiasis outbreak that has now reached 47 states.
Recommended VideosMichigan is currently seeing the most severe impact from the outbreak, with more than 11,000 cases reported in the state.
The two fatalities mark the first deaths in the country this year tied to the parasite, which causes a set of symptoms officials have described as “explosive diarrhea.”
Only Delaware, Hawaii, and Montana have avoided laboratory-confirmed cases so far, though even those states have logged a handful of possible infections.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) reports that two deaths were identified as part of the cyclosporiasis outbreak in Michigan.
