What Happens If You Swallow Cyclospora

You washed your salad. You thought it was clean. But some parasites are too small to see and too tough to rinse off. Cyclospora hides on fresh produce, slips into your gut, and burrows into your intestinal lining. For up to a week you feel fine while it multiplies. Then it hits, and it does not stop for days. Here is what actually happens inside your body, step by step, from the first bite to the moment your gut finally heals. Watch how one invisible passenger can wreck your stomach for weeks. #cyclospora #foodsafety #howthebodyworks #parasites #healthfacts
