AFC Urgent Care Ridley

🍓 A growing parasite outbreak in Pennsylvania has been linked to certain fresh fruits and vegetables — including cilantro, basil, raspberries, blackberries, snow peas, and snap peas.
🥗 Cyclospora is a microscopic parasite that can cause days or even weeks of stomach illness, and it’s not easily washed off produce.
⚠️ Health officials say the investigation is still ongoing, but cases are rising across the state.
🤢 Symptoms can include diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, fatigue, and loss of appetite.
🩺 If you’re feeling sick after eating fresh produce, AFC Urgent Care can help evaluate your symptoms and provide fast, reliable care.
📍 Walk in 7 days a week to our center.
