Claim 1: “At least 50 cases have [been reported of a gut-wrecking parasite in the U.S.]”

CORROBORATED

Multiple sources confirm a cyclosporiasis (gut parasite) outbreak in the US. One source reports at least 2,944 cases, another mentions 145 cases, and another mentions 11-30 cases in Virginia. Since these figures all exceed the 'at least 50 cases' threshold, the claim is corroborated.
