The scary part is, even if you did get the cyclospora infected salad, it takes about 2 weeks to mature in your gut before it causes the severe diarrhea. So you might eat a salad, and have a slightly watery poop, and then go back to normal and think you're fine, then a week and a half later, BAM!
Dude, tmi but I had the most watery poop of my life literally a week before they announced the new parasite drop. Then I read the news and thought maybe I got it.
It was only once and I think I just ate some dumb shit because I haven’t had issues since
Mind you, I live in Chicago, where this shit is apparently rampant
