Methods Of Treating Cyclosporiasis

Prevention

Prevent a recurrence of cyclosporiasis by avoiding drinking water from streams and ensuring all food has been thoroughly washed and cooked before consumption. Always thoroughly rinse vegetables and fruits under tap water before cooking or eating raw and use a dedicated brush for firm vegetables and fruits. If there are any bruised or otherwise damaged parts of the fruit or vegetable, cut it away before eating.

It is also crucial to wash hands with soap and warm water before as well as after preparing vegetables and fruits. Furthermore, after preparing these foods, be sure to clean all utensils, cutting boards, and other objects that came into contact with these fruits and vegetables.

Proper storage of fruits and vegetables is also an essential aspect of preventing cyclosporiasis. After cooking, peeling, cutting, or otherwise preparing fruits and vegetables, store them in the appropriate containers in the refrigerator within two hours. Be sure they are separated from any raw meat in the fridge as well to avoid cross-contamination.
