Cyclosporiasis cases reach 125 in Louisiana

The big picture: Two people in Michigan have died in connection with cyclospora, health officials there said this week. Both had underlying health conditions.

• The state has been at the center of the outbreak, which has been growing since June, Axios' Herb Scribner reports.

Zoom in: Of Louisiana's 125 cases, eight were reported in Orleans Parish and 18 in Jefferson Parish.

• East Baton Rouge has reported the most so far at 25 cases.

The intrigue: It's still not clear exactly where the outbreak began, though cases have been linked to Taylor Farms lettuce.

Flashback: Despite the CDC so far counting more than 11,000 cases in the current cyclospora outbreak, the food-borne illness hasn't yet reached the scope of the worst in U.S. history.

Meanwhile: Louisiana officials are also tracking a possible salmonella contamination in eggs.

• There's an active recall of nearly 1.6 million eggs, the Louisiana Department of Health says, including from Super 1 Foods. Full list.
