Daily Mail BREAKING NEWS First deaths from 'explosive' diarrhea parasite outbreak reported in Michigan

Original caption

The first US deaths from the "explosive" diarrhea parasite outbreak have been confirmed. Michigan's Health Department reports 2 fatalities from cyclosporiasis while both patients had underlying health conditions. Officials call deaths from the illness "uncommon" and say it's generally not life-threatening. These deaths are part of the bigger outbreak linked to shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms, sold at Taco Bell and other stores 🥬 The parasite spreads through food/water contaminated with human feces, causing severe diarrhea, cramps, and in rare cases, deadly dehydration. #Cyclosporiasis #FoodSafety #TaylorFarms #HealthNews #outbreak
