In some cases, vomiting, explosive diarrhea, muscle aches, and substantial weight loss can occur. The incubation period between acquisition of infection and onset of symptoms averages ~1 week (ranges from ~2–14 or more days); however, some people who are infected with *Cyclospora* do not have any symptoms. ![](https://holistic-kudu.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/Los-Chilangos-300x161_thumb.jpg?w=240&h=128&auto=compress%2Cformat&fit=crop&dm=1677187701&s=ed5eaffb41e4ffac7f80f70ba831d68e)If not treated, the illness may last from a few days up to six weeks. Symptoms also may recur one or more times (relapse) over the course of several months. In addition, people who have previously been infected with *Cyclospora* can become infected again.
