The number of Michigan residents suffering from cyclosporiasis continues to rise.
State officials say more than 10,000 cases have been reported in Michigan as of Tuesday.
The parasite can cause gastric distress, including watery diarrhea.
Most of the Michigan cases are in Wayne, Washtenaw and Oakland counties.
Investigators have traced the problem to iceburg lettuce sold by Taylor Farms and distributed to many Taco Bell restaurants.
That lettuce has been recalled.
The parasite is usually spread through food or water contaminated by feces.
The outbreak has spread to several other states.

WIC benefits can be used online at Meijers
The state of Michigan says residents who use the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, otherwise known as WIC, can now use their benefits online at Meijers.
Beneficiaries could already use those benefits when they shop inside the store.
The state Department of Health and Human Services says the program will be available at all 122 Meijer stores in Michigan.
Officials say they plan to expand the program to other retailers in the future.
Michigan’s WIC program serves more than 187,000 women, infants and children each month.
Ford Motor Company says it lost money from its electric vehicle business in the second quarter of this year.
But the Dearborn automaker is still predicting a more profitable year overall than experts previously expected.
Ford officials say the automaker took a net loss of $1.3 billion in the second quarter, partially as the result of ending a joint electric vehicle battery partnership with a South Korean company and stopping other EV related efforts.
But the automaker says customers, including those building data centers, remain interested in using Ford’s electric batteries to store energy.
Ford earned more than $48 billion in revenue in the second quarter, beating Wall Street analysts’ average expectations.
Officials say there’s still strong demand for Ford trucks and SUVs, despite high fuel prices.
