Cyclospora Cases Show Up In Nassau County

By Newsradio 88 Staff

Several cases of cyclospora have been identified in Nassau County.

WCBS reporter Jody Fisher says that the health department is issuing a health alert.

Although the health department hasn't locked down a source of the disease, strawberries and raspberries from Guatemala are suspect.

That country stopped shipping produce back in May, but Cynthia Brown with the Nassau County health department says some berries were probably in transit when the problem occurred.
