Cyclospora infections linked to fresh basil from Mexico

I warn people about fresh basil, but they just call me crazy, although I’m the one with the PhD in food stuff.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control reported at the end of Sept there were 241 confirmed cases in 5 states and was linked to fresh basil from Siga Logistics de RL de CV of Morelos, Mexico.

This outbreak appears to be over.

Sorry it takes me longer to report these things, but I don’t get paid and my brain drifts.
