Health officials in Michigan said lettuce or salad greens are a potential source of the cyclosporiasis outbreak<\/a> that\u2019s been reported in at least 34 states. Cyclosporiasis is a parasitic infection that can cause \u201cexplosive\u201d diarrhea. As of Monday, 2,640 cases have been reported in Michigan alone.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

However, investigators haven\u2019t ruled out other food items, and they haven\u2019t identified a specific type of produce, grower, or supplier as the source. \n<\/p>\n

\u201cEarly information has shown lettuce as a common product that regularly comes up during the investigation. We will continue to provide updates as we learn more,\u201d Natasha Bagdasarian, chief medical executive for the State of Michigan, said in a statement.\n<\/p>\n
