The Food and Drug Administration said it is inspecting a Mexican production facility as part of its probe into the widespread cyclosporiasis oubreak.

Cyclosporiasis is an intestinal illness caused by the Cyclospora parasite, which can cause watery diarrhea, cramping, bloating, nausea, and fatigue.

While not risk-free, hydroponic lettuce might be a better bet than regular lettuce right now. Here’s why.

More than 10,000 confirmed cases of cyclosporiasis have been reported across the United States this year, with the intestinal illness reaching nearly every state.

More than 90 cases of cyclosporiasis have now been reported in Connecticut, according to the Department of Public Health. Cyclospora, the “explosive diarrhea parasite” has been spreading around the country since early July and has been linked to fresh produce.

The number of confirmed cases of cyclosporiasis continues to grow, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For the first time since the outbreak and subsequent lettuce recall, the Food and Drug Administration has gone to Mexico to inspect processing facilities and fields where the produce was processed.

The FDA has long fallen short of legally required inspection targets, and foreign inspections fell further last year amid agency layoffs.

There are no known cyclosporiasis outbreaks in California, but officials say case numbers are higher than they expected for this point in the season.

Wisconsin health officials report 251 total cyclosporiasis cases in the state, including 136 among people who did not report international travel.
