Cyclospora Cayetanensis is a parasite composed of one cell, making it too small to see with the naked eye. Cyclospora can be found on fresh fruits, vegetables, and in water. Cyclospora is spread by consuming food or water with the parasite (contaminated) in it.
Cyclospora likes the lining of the small intestine. The parasite causes an intestinal infection called cyclosporiasis. A small number of the parasites can cause the body to have symptoms.
Once the cyclospora parasite has been eaten sickness shows in about 7 days. Symptoms start with watery, frequent, and explosive bowel movements. Symptoms can go from a few days to a month or more. This develops in to stomach cramps with bloating, decreased appetite, weight loss, nausea, vomit, fatigue, reports of feeling very tired.
The medical system recommends contacting your primary provider at the community clinic with diarrhea lasting more than 3 days. The treatment is Trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxazole (tmp-smx) an antibiotic known by the names Bactrim, Septra, and Cotrim.
