🥬 NCDHHS continues to investigate the increase in cyclosporiasis cases across North Carolina alongside the NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services and local partners.

While the source has not yet been confirmed, parsley, cilantro and lettuce are among the foods most commonly reported by people who became sick. These ingredients have not been confirmed as the source but remain part of the ongoing investigation.

To help reduce your risk:
✔️ Wash your hands before preparing food.
✔️ Rinse fresh fruits and vegetables under running water.
✔️ Consider fully cooking parsley, cilantro and lettuce if using them in meals until more is known.
✔️ If you have severe or ongoing diarrhea, contact your health care provider.

NCDHHS will continue providing updates as the investigation progresses.

Senate Concurrent Resolution 9 was passed by the Kentucky Senate and is being considered in the House!

Kentucky Medicaid recipients deserve a delivery system that works for them and produces the best health outcomes possible. At the same time, public dollars need to be used effectively, and the system needs to be sustainable so that future Kentuckians have the Medicaid access and coverage they need.

We support SCR 9 because it moves Kentucky toward a Medicaid system that delivers better health and a more responsible use of public dollars.
