Michigan health officials identify 'potential source' of parasite outbreak pointing to salad greens and lettuce

[Niagara]

15. Hi Wednesdays

I did a search on Cyclospora food contaminated list.

The food items that I found listed besides salad greens including spinach and mesclun are basil, parsley, cilantro, snow peas, raspberries, green onions, blackberries, watercress, and mango. Most likely I missed mentioning a few.

The good people on DU are certainly allowed to consume what they want and how they want. For myself, I'm only consuming vegetables that can be cooked or baked. The articles that I've been reading are saying that any foods cooked or baked at 185 F internal temperature should be safe to eat.

I'm not risking consuming raw vegetable and salads currently as I had food poisoning for the first time ever in early of 2024 and I thought I was dying. Having explosive diarrhea and abdominal cramps for weeks just doesn't sound like a great time to me.
