# Cyclospora Infection Information
✓
What's happening**: There's been a sudden increase in cases of cyclospora, a stomach infection that causes diarrhea and cramping, and many cases are connected to people who have traveled to Mexico recently.
✓
What you should do**: If you've traveled to Mexico, be extra careful about what you eat and drink—wash your hands before eating, drink bottled or boiled water only, and avoid raw fruits and vegetables that you didn't peel yourself.
✓
Key point**: Cyclospora is treatable with antibiotics, so if you get symptoms like watery diarrhea, stomach pain, or nausea after traveling, contact your doctor right away rather than waiting to see if it goes away on its own.
Always speak to your doctor before making any changes to your health or treatment.
