The Mississippi Department of Health issued the following statement.
The Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) has confirmed five reported cases of cyclosporiasis in the state from Public Health Districts 3 (the Delta), 5 (Central), 8 (Southern), and 9 (which includes the coastal counties). At this time, none of those reported cases have been linked to the multistate outbreak under investigation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
In a press conference Friday, State Epidemiologist Dr. Renia Dotson stressed that Mississippians should not panic. The parasite is well-known, treatable, and the resulting illness is rarely spread directly from person to person.

Cyclosporiasis is a gastrointestinal illness that can infect people who have consumed food or water contaminated by the microscopic parasite Cyclospora. The CDC has linked shredded iceberg lettuce served at Taco Bell locations in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia to the multistate outbreak.

Nope, it’s that dangerous raw milk from the farmer we’ve built a relationship with down the road that we should avoid - not the human poop fertilized bagged lettuce.
It has been found in MS? Ya’ll run…..!
If we can't drink the water in Mexico, how the hell should we be comfortable eating vegetables raised in the same water and (supposedly) washed off in that same water prior to shipment?
Keep on chugging that raw milk you doofus.
