TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - At least 30 people have gotten sick in Florida in recent weeks from a parasite that can spread illness through contaminated food or water.
State health officials usually see only a few cyclospora illnesses each year. The recent spike suggests a shared source, but investigators have not tracked it down.
"We are looking to identify any potential links that these cases have," Lindsay Hodges, a spokeswoman for the state Health Department, said Thursday. She had no breakdown on where those infected live.
