Cyclosporiasis is caused by a parasite typically found on contaminated produce.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Doctors say some infections pop up every summer, but North Carolina\u2019s Department of Health and Human Services reports at least 205 cases since May 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSeems like a good amount, and I would expect maybe more to come,\u201d said Dr. Cramer McCullen, a family medicine doctor with Novant Health. \u201cJust because cases have been identified in North Carolina doesn\u2019t mean they necessarily started here because of the interstate exchange of produce and food, so it\u2019s hard to pinpoint maybe where exactly it came from.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

McCullen says symptoms can include nausea, fatigue and other gastrointestinal issues in addition to diarrhea.\u00a0<\/p>\n
