Description

You don't have to give up fresh produce to stay safe from Cyclospora. Experts warn that food washes and sprays don't necessarily kill the parasite because it can shell into a protective cyst — so rinse everything under flowing water, separating leafy greens leaf by leaf, and cook produce to 158°F when you can. #cyclospora #cyclosporiasis #foodsafety #outbreak #health
