The Trump administration is coming under fire for its response to the outbreak of cyclosporiasis, a foodborne illness that causes explosive diarrhea and has so far been documented in more than two dozen states.<\/p>\n

Public health officials still have not identified the source of the outbreak, which typically spreads via contaminated produce.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Axios published Saturday, David Freedman, professor emeritus of infectious diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, suggested that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has not been on top of tracking the outbreak the same way it has been in the past.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now it\u2019s individual state health departments that are having to speak up,\u201d remarked Freedman, \u201cbecause the CDC is really not following it on a day-to-day basis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Omer Awan, vice chair and associate program director for the diagnostic radiology residency at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore, told PBS in an interview published Monday that infections will likely only grow if the government doesn\u2019t track down the source of the outbreak quickly.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause we haven\u2019t pinned it down, that means that these cases are likely to disseminate,\u201d said Awan. \u201cPeople are still eating the contaminated food that\u2019s leading to so many cases.\u201d<\/p>\n

Awan added that mass firings at the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), under the leadership of anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., were hindering CDC\u2019s ability to track the disease.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe HHS and the federal government laid off a lot of CDC employees,\u201d said Awan. \u201cMany of them were the very employees that would track these particular outbreaks. And the other is that, from July of 2025 last year, the CDC has no longer required reporting cyclosporiasis. It\u2019s become optional to report this to the CDC\u2019s Foodborne Disease Active Surveillance Network.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brad Woodhouse, president of Protect Our Care, pointed to the CDC decision to stop monitoring the cyclospora parasite as an example of the Trump administration putting Americans \u201cin another shitty situation after laying waste to our public health infrastructure and gutting emergency preparedness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause RFK Jr.’s CDC turned a blind eye to dangerous foodborne pathogens,\u201d Woodhouse added, \u201cthis outbreak spread quickly and states are now scrambling to do their own detective work on what\u2019s causing it. The catastrophic cuts Trump and RFK Jr. made to disease surveillance and research keep coming back to haunt us, yet they want to cut even deeper to make up for their tax breaks for billionaires.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Washington Post on Tuesday reported that both federal and state officials have launched an investigation into whether fast food chain Taco Bell \u201cplayed a role\u201d in the cyclosporiasis outbreak.<\/p>\n

According to the Post\u2019s sources, some people who got sick from the disease said they had eaten at Taco Bell shortly becoming symptomatic, although others who were infected by the parasite said they had not eaten at the fast food chain before growing ill.<\/p>\n

\u201cPublic health officials have said this season\u2019s unusually high number of illnesses, now reported in more than 30 states,\u201d reported the Post, \u201cmeans more information and more patients to help identify shared foods, shopping habits and restaurant visits among those sickened to help determine the source.\u201d<\/p>\n
