A nationwide outbreak of a microscopic parasite has reached Louisiana. Known as cyclospora, the parasite causes intestinal issues, bloating, stomach issues and nausea, among other side effects.
Dr. Fred Lopez is an infectious disease specialist at LSU Health New Orleans. He tells us more about symptoms, prevention and treatment.
For victims of violent crime in New Orleans, the criminal justice process is often long, bureaucratic and compounded by the grief of the moment.

Preston tells us about the release and an upcoming book launch event.
