This undated photo taken through a microscope provided by the CDC shows Cyclospora cayetanensis oocysts found in a fresh stool sample which had been prepared with a formalin solution and stained with safranin.

Hamilton County has more than a dozen confirmed cases of cyclosporiasis, with more suspected cases under review.

And the number of people reporting to emergency rooms with diarrheal illness has increased in the county.

On Cincinnati Edition, we discuss what we know about the outbreak locally and nationwide, the source of the problem and how to avoid getting sick.

Guests:

  • Dr. Stephen Feagins, medical director, Hamilton County Public Health
  • Caroline Hopkins Lagaspi, health reporter, New York Times
