As of May ninth two thousand and fifteen, there has been an outbreak of bad produce being sent to three major cities in Canada including Alberta, Quebec, and Ontario. It is said that the produce that is being sold is infected with “Cyclospora” which attacks the immune system and if not treated starts slowly disabling organs in the human body. The produce that is infected is herbs and vegetables like basil, mesclun, snow peas, lettuce, cilantro, and salad mix. People with unhealthy or not strong immune systems are especially in danger, when it comes to “Cyclospora”. The symptoms of this disease are loss of appetite, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. People should now wash their vegetables and fresh produce for a longer time and watch out for a weird pattern of spots. Currently this disease has not reached the United States, but since Canada is so close to the United States, it is a possibility.
