Despite the nationwide outbreak of explosive diarrhea, this state is actually seeing fewer cases

• California health officials have confirmed that Southern California is not currently experiencing an increase in cyclosporiasis cases, nor are there any known local outbreaks of the intestinal illness within the state.
• This comes as cases of the parasite-borne disease, which causes explosive-like diarrhea, surge in other parts of the nation, particularly in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
• Despite national trends, California's current cyclosporiasis figures remain within expected ranges.
