Cyclospora isn’t going away…

With 2 reported deaths in Michigan, it’s more important than ever to protect your family:

- Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly under running water before eating, cutting, or cooking – even if it is labeled pre-washed.
- Scrub firm fruits and vegetables, such as melons and cucumbers, with a clean produce brush.
- Cut away any damaged or bruised areas on fruits and vegetables before preparing and eating.
- Cooking can kill the parasite. Since washing alone cannot guarantee the parasite’s removal, you can cook produce to a temperature of at least 158 °F (70°C).

If you have explosive diarrhea lasting several days, especially after eating fresh produce, contact your healthcare provider.

Cyclosporiasis requires a specific antibiotic for treatment.

Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) reminds Illinoisans that its endorsement of the 2026 AAP Child & Adolescent Immunization Schedule remains unchanged, despite this week’s federal executive order. Years of research show the recommended vaccines are safe and effective. IDPH will continue to follow the science, with unanimous support from the Immunization Advisory Committee, to help families make informed health decisions.

Now is the time to make sure that children have all required immunizations before the start of the school year. Immunization requirements have not changed. Information for the 2026-27 school year can be found athttps://dph.illinois.gov/content/dam/soi/en/web/idph/publications/idph/topics-and-services/prevention-wellness/immunization/immunization-requirements-2026-2027.pdf
