Cyclospora is a microscopic organism that is causing a big problem in the U.S.
Cases of cyclosporiasis have been growing throughout the summer, with about 4,000 reported cases in Ohio alone.
Federal health officials are still investigating the source. How much longer do we have to worry about the produce we eat? Have recent cuts to federal agencies played a role in the outbreak?
