Debra Houry, Deputy Director for Program & Science at the CDC, discusses the ongoing cyclospora outbreak amid conflicting messages from health authorities. While the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) declared the outbreak contained and stated that salad is safe to eat, CDC data through August 11 shows a 33% increase in confirmed cases, with nearly 14,000 reported and an additional 10,000 cases still under investigation.
