Cyclospora Outbreak Hits Royalton Riviera in Cancun, Mexico

In a worrying development, the prestigious 5-star Royalton Riviera in Riviera Maya, Mexico has once again fallen victim to a Cyclospora outbreak. Reports have surfaced of numerous guests contracting the parasite during their stay, prompting widespread concern and legal action being taken.

What is Cyclospora and how would I know if I’ve contracted it?

Cyclospora is amongst some of the most common types of holiday illnesses British holidaymakers contract, particularly in countries with poor sanitation.

People infected with Cyclospora have usually ingested contaminated food or water and the symptoms are very similar to salmonella and cryptosporidium, two other types of pathogens contracted in similar ways.

If you are experiencing symptoms such as diarrhoea, stomach cramps, abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, fatigue, and loss of appetite, you may have contracted an infection. It’s important to seek medical advice as soon as possible to receive the appropriate treatment and prognosis. If left untreated, the symptoms of Cyclospora can become rather severe, and in our experience, can lead to people requiring hospital treatment.
