Tarrant County Public Health issued a warning Monday about an outbreak of Cyclosporiasis, a foodborne illness caused by a microscopic parasite that leads to severe intestinal problems.
Tarrant County said there has been a spike in cases during July.
Prior to this month, there were just eight cases reported in the State of Texas, and Tarrant County had seen just one.
But there are now 69 Cyclosporiasis cases in Texas, nine of them in Tarrant County.
So far, health officials have not found the source of the outbreak.
