Ongoing investigations into cyclospora and salmonella outbreaks are currently underway. These outbreaks have affected dozens of states and are causing foodborne illnesses. The situation is similar to past crises that have occurred in the US.

Cyclospora is known to cause severe symptoms, including "explosive diarrhea". Further information about these outbreaks and how they compare to past incidents can be found through KTSM 9 News, a local news source in El Paso, TX.
