HEALTH ADVISORY: Protect Yourself and Your Family From Cyclosporiasis - Take Precautions When Handling Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
The Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) is urging Georgians to take extra precautions when purchasing, preparing, and consuming fresh fruits and vegetables to help prevent cyclosporiasis, a gastrointestinal disease. At this time, DPH is not aware of any Georgia-specific outbreaks, clusters, or potential links to the outbreak that has sickened more than a thousand people across multiple states. Investigation into common sources nationally is ongoing.
Cyclosporiasis can be prevented by following basic health hygiene practices when handling fresh fruits and vegetables. These are the measures the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) promotes every day.
- Wash hands with soap and water before and after handling or preparing raw fruits and vegetables
- Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly under running water before eating, cutting, or cooking
- Fruits and vegetables that are labeled "prewashed" do not need to be washed again at home
- 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
- Refrigerate cut, peeled, or cooked fruits and vegetables as soon as possible (within two hours)
