Here to give us the latest on this investigation and to take us into the world of food detective work is Byron Chavez, a food safety expert from Rutgers University.
Hey, Byron, welcome back to Science Friday.
Thank you for coming.
Thousands of people have gotten sick.
Many of the rest of us have been wondering what not to eat this summer.
I feel like this has been a real nail-biter.
Has the cyclospora mystery been solved?
Oh, say more.
Tell me.
Right.
Because, you know, I know that the states called out by the FDA and CDC didn't include, for example, New York, where there have been a bunch of cases.
So what does that mean?
So news outlets have been pointing to Taylor Farms.
Does that suggest that the parasite came from processing or from the farm itself?
Why has it taken so long to figure this out?
Recreational water.
Do you think it's a possibility that people are getting it from swimming?
So we've talked on this show about budget and staffing cuts at various government agencies.
Do you believe that those played a big part in this outbreak being so big?
Tell me a little bit about the parasite itself.
