Disease of the Week – Cyclosporiasis

Feeling Sick?

A person with cyclosporiasis may begin to feel sick about 7 days after eating contaminated food. Symptoms may include watery diarrhea (most common), loss of appetite, weight loss, cramping, bloating, increased gas, nausea, and fatigue. Since these may be similar to those of other intestinal illnesses, cyclosporiasis can only be diagnosed by a doctor.
