A parasite that’s too tiny to see without a microscope can make you ill if you eat or drink the food or water it fouls. The illness is called a cyclospora infection (or cyclosporiasis), and it can bring on problems like watery diarrhea and stomach pain.
About 15,000 people in the U.S. catch it each year, and outbreaks of the infection have been linked to different kinds of imported fresh produce.
Here’s what you need to know to stay safe and lower your chances of catching this bug. See at the link above.
