North Carolina Reports Separate Cluster Linked to Parsley and Cilantro
North Carolina health officials report 718 cyclosporiasis cases and 24 hospitalizations since May 1, tied to a cluster where parsley, cilantro, and lettuce are all under investigation as possible vehicles. State officials say the North Carolina cases do not appear linked to the Taco Bell/Taylor Farms multistate outbreak in other states. NCDHHS launches a public case dashboard the same week.
