(Maria Korneeva/Getty Images)(NEW YORK) — Michigan health officials said on Thursday that people can resume regular lettuce- and salad greens-eating habits as new cases of cyclosporiasis slow.
The state has seen more than 12,400 cases since June, including 279 hospitalizations and two deaths, health department data shows.
The update from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) said the majority of contaminated produce is “likely” no longer available to consume.
Additionally, new cyclosporiasis cases and related emergency department visits are declining, MDHHS said.
Since May 1, cases of cyclosporiasis have topped 22,000 in 47 states, according to data updated by the CDC on Tuesday.
