The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services recommends eating locally grown produce.  We got that in abundance here.   Other recommendations include avoiding Cilantro & Parsley, the two items most frequently mentioned by North Carolina cycolsporiasis patients.  Also rinse and wash off fresh veggies and fruit. That is always a good idea, even if the produce is organic, there’s lots of natural organisms in dirt that can cause trouble.

Should you be worried?  60% of the 718 cases of cycolsporiasis cases reported in North Carolina are in Wake County, out east in Raliegh- Durham.   So come on over to the farmers’ market.   The only explosive thing here is LOVE.

The farmers market at Village at Robinson Farm is open every Saturday and Wednesday, 9-3.
