Holy cacamole!
Ever had some guacamole that's, well, kind of shitty? Turns out, it may be more crappy than you realize, with public health officials warning of cilantro (a key ingredient in guacamole) that has been found to be tainted with human feces.

The Food and Drug Adminstration recently issued an alert regarding cilantro from the state of Puebla, Mexico, which has been linked to an outbreak of cyclosporiasis in the U.S.

According to the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control, cyclosporiasis is an illness caused by the microscopic parasite Cyclospora cayetanensisis, and it's spread by ingesting food or water contaminated with feces.
They go on to say that the illness infects the small intestine and can causes watery diarrhea, with frequent, sometimes explosive, bowel movements.
