Michigan Reports 2 Deaths in Cyclosporiasis Outbreak The recent outbreak of cyclosporiasis in Michigan has claimed two lives, casting a shadow over the usually mild nature of this foodborne illness.
State health officials have downplayed the severity of the cases, describing death from cyclosporiasis as "uncommon" in the US, but the facts on the ground paint a more worrying picture.
Forty five states are reporting cases, and Michigan alone has seen over 11,000 confirmed infections since early May.
