(CBS Local)– Over 200 people have now been infected by an outbreak of parasites linked to recalled vegetable trays from Del Monte.

According to the CDC, 212 cases of cyclosporiasis – an intestinal infection caused by the cyclospora parasite – were reported as of July 5. The condition has been linked to “6 oz., 12 oz., and 28 oz. vegetable trays containing fresh broccoli, cauliflower, celery sticks, carrots, and dill dip,” which were recalled by Del Monte Fresh Produce on June 15.

The CDC added that the products were sold in clear, plastic containers at several store across the Midwest. “The recalled products were distributed to: Kwik Trip, Kwik Star, Demond’s, Sentry, Potash, Meehan’s, Country Market, Food Max Supermarket and Peapod in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin,” according to the FDA recall.

Health officials are warning that people who develop cyclosporiasis can experience “frequent, sometimes explosive” diarrhea. The parasites can also cause nausea, fatigue, and several other flu-like symptoms lasting for at least a month if not treated by doctors. “If you are not treated with this very specific antibiotic for cyclospora you generally will remain sick,” Ryan Osterholm of the Pritzker Hageman Law Firm told CBS Minnesota.

Seven people have hospitalized due to the outbreak, however there have been no deaths linked to the contaminated Del Monte products.

Hey Del Monte. Wash the damn vegetables.

But that could cut into the corporate profit, and then the managers might not get their bonuses.

‘Explosive’ Diarrhea - can be hereditary too, especially if you find it running in your jeans.

Been There and Done That recently

Washing the veggies not good enough...

"Prevention & Control.

On the basis of the currently available information, avoiding food or water that may have been contaminated with feces is the best way to prevent cyclosporiasis.

Treatment with chlorine or iodine is unlikely to kill Cyclospora oocysts. No vaccine for cyclosporiasis is available."

Don’t buy your veggies at the gas station or at the very low end supermarket.

Well the old adage applies, “Don’t crap where you eat.” and “Don’t eat where others crap”.

Your own garden veggies, well they’re in your control.

Explosive diarrhea used to kill a lot of soldiers before modern sanitation methods.

“Explosive diarrhea used to kill a lot of soldiers before modern sanitation methods.”

The crappy tactics, sh*tty weapons, old fart generals, and the turds in the officer corps didn’t help either.
