CDC adds four more states to cyclosporiasis outbreak investigation
The four states join Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and West Virginia, bringing the total number of states connected to the outbreak to nine.

Last week, the Food and Drug Administration said the outbreak was linked to iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms in Mexico.
