\n A growing outbreak in Michigan and Ohio has also been linked to cases in West Virginia and Kentucky, the agency said. People with cyclosporiasis may experience symptoms, including watery diarrhea, cramping and bloating, for weeks.\n <\/p>\n

\n Since May 1, cases have been identified in 34 states. Cyclospora activity tends to increase during the spring and summer, but the number of confirmed cases since May 1 is already more than six times higher than it was by this time last year, according to a health alert sent by the CDC. If all possible cases being investigated are included, this year\u2019s total is 27 times higher than last year\u2019s total at this time.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThis is much, much higher than what we\u2019ve seen last year or the year before,\u201d said Dr. Gwen Biggerstaff, deputy director of CDC\u2019s Division of Foodborne, Waterborne, and Environmental Diseases, calling it \u201ca very big shift\u201d from previous seasons.\n <\/p>\n

\n About 1 in every 11 cases has been hospitalized, according to data available to the CDC. No deaths have been reported. At least 34 states have reported cases.\n <\/p>
