A recent study found curcumin TERMINATES the “explosive diarrhea” parasite. Curcumin reduced Cyclospora shedding by 93.5% and ELIMINATED detectable parasites in animal models. Under an electron microscope, curcumin-treated Cyclospora oocysts were SEVERELY DAMAGED and DEFORMED.

Nano-Curcumin ELIMINATES Cyclospora Infection in Mice—the Parasite Behind the “Explosive Diarrhea” Outbreak Across 31 States Just 7 daily doses of nano-curcumin cut Cyclospora shedding by 97.2%, ELIMINATED detectable parasites, RESTORED damaged tissue, AND prevented relapse. A recent animal study experimentally infected mice with Cyclospora, then compared 7-day courses of nano-curcumin, regular curcumin, Bactrim/TMP-SMX, and no treatment. At day 30—more than two weeks after treatment ended—parasite shedding was reduced by: 📉Nano-curcumin: -97.2% 📉Regular curcumin: -93.5% 📉Bactrim: -79.4% ⚠️Untreated control: persistent and increasing shedding Nano-curcumin produced the lowest parasite burden, the greatest restoration of intestinal villi, no detectable parasites in intestinal tissue, and no recurrence after withdrawal. Regular curcumin was also remarkably effective. It reduced shedding by 93.5%, substantially restored damaged intestinal tissue, and left no parasites detectable by H&E staining at day 30—although low-level stool shedding remained. Bactrim improved the infection, but parasite excretion increased again after treatment stopped, indicating relapse. All three treatments significantly reduced shedding compared with untreated mice. Human trials are urgently needed.

Let’s be real, we’re all slightly living in fear of contracting the Cyclospora parasite. So what can you do to protect yourself? Start by thoroughly washing your vegetables and cooking them to kill any potentially harmful bacteria. #Cyclospora #Cyclosporiasis #Parasite

A parasite is causing explosive diarrhea in 31 states and spreading rapidly. I spent HOURS researching the Cyclospora outbreak so YOU can protect yourself and your loved ones - especially people over 65 who are most at risk.

We can thank Trump for making the outbreak of a parasite causing explosive diarrhea MUCH WORSE—seriously! CDC used to track Cyclospora, but Trump gutted our public health infrastructure & made monitoring the parasite optional. Now, we're in the worst outbreak in U.S. history.

Y’all be careful with the fresh produce you eat and where you get your water. Cyclospora (a parasite from contaminated food or water) is making the rounds. It’s cause watery, explosive diarrhea, cramps, and fatigue for 1–4 weeks

Fox News: Public health officials are investigating a surge in cases of a severe intestinal disease. It's caused by a microscopic parasite called Cyclospora. Last year, the CDC made Cyclospora data reporting optional to allow food safety staff to prioritize so-called "core activities." The CDC has now confirmed infections in 31 states.

Taylor Farms lettuce tested positive for cyclospora. But then the positive test got rolled back after meeting with Trump officials in the White House. Cyclospora is a story about…yes, explosive diarrhea…and also corruption and oligopoly. 🥬

The CDC confirmed on Thursday that an outbreak of the cyclospora parasite is linked to shredded iceberg lettuce from Taco Bell locations in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia. The lettuce came from Mexico, and is tied to a single unnamed supplier. Cyclospora is a foodborne parasite that causes cyclosporiasis, an illness that can result in severe and prolonged diarrhea. More than 30 cases have reported cyclosporiasis cases already this year, and the CDC says it is still investigating other potential sources of the illness that could be unrelated to lettuce served at Taco Bell.

“An outbreak involving a parasitic infection (called Cyclosporiasis) is, quote, large and growing in Michigan, where more than 300 cases have been confirmed, and the CDC is monitoring cases in 17 other states” There have been 145 more cases in the US across 17 states with 20 hospitalizations Cyclospora cayetanensis is a microscopic parasite. It spreads via contaminated food or water. Often by fresh produce like cilantro, basil, raspberries, snow peas, or leafy greens - Main symptom: Severe, watery and sometimes explosive diarrhea - Others: Loss of appetite, weight loss, stomach cramps, bloating and gas, nausea, fatigue, low-grade fever, body aches Symptoms can last weeks

🚨 PEOPLE ARE DYING FROM “EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA” — FIRST DEATHS JUST CONFIRMED IN THE US Health officials just confirmed the first known deaths tied to the ongoing Cyclospora outbreak. Two people in Michigan have died after being infected with the parasite that causes severe, explosive diarrhea. This isn’t just making people sick anymore... it’s killing them. The CDC still says it has no clear answer on how the parasite is spreading… yet the number of cases continues to climb across the country. A parasite that causes extreme gastrointestinal symptoms, keeps spreading, and now has a body count. Is this outbreak completely natural… or was something engineered to make thousands of people sick at once?

A parasite is causing explosive diarrhea across the U.S. and authorities still do not know the cause of the outbreaks. Cyclosporiasis is usually caused by eating produce that has the cyclospora parasite. While the CDC says they have not pinpointed one food product that is causing people to be sickened, investigators in Michigan say their investigation is leading them to believe lettuce is the cause. Out of caution, Taco Bell reportedly stopped using produce ingredients that may contain the parasite. We still do not know the cause of the outbreak. Head to the linked article for more information and stick with CBS News for updates.

NEW UPDATE: A parasite outbreak is causing explosive diarrhea across America. A woman in Denver went to the bathroom FORTY TIMES (!!) in a SINGLE DAY. She's one of THOUSANDS of Americans hit by a parasite most people had never heard of a week ago: Cyclospora cayetanensis. Even scarier: washing your salad won't stop it, freezing won't kill it, and one state is reporting TWICE as many cases as the CDC says exist in the whole country. Everyone is behind the curve, and I did HOURS of research to help you stay safe and protect your loved ones. ❤️

CDC ALERT: PARASITE OUTBREAK SPREADS ACROSS 20 STATES - COULD YOU BE AT RISK? | Going Rogue with Lara Logan | Paid Episode A parasite linked to explosive watery diarrhea has now sickened 145 people across 20 states, with 20 hospitalizations, prompting growing concern among health officials. According to the CDC, the outbreak involves Cyclospora cayetanensis, a microscopic parasite that can contaminate fresh produce and food, leaving victims with severe gastrointestinal illness that may last for weeks if left untreated. Today, with Lauren Witzke examines what this latest outbreak means, how people become infected, why foodborne parasites continue to emerge, and what practical steps families can take to reduce their risk. We’ll discuss the symptoms, transmission, diagnosis, and why experts say parasite awareness should be part of every conversation about digestive health.
