Screwworm Resurgence in Texas | Birmingham News
A deadly fly called the New World screwworm is making a comeback in Texas, with 25 confirmed cases—this parasite lays eggs in open wounds, hatches maggots that eat living flesh, and can spread rapidly. One female can lay thousands of eggs, and even tiny wounds like tick bites can attract it. While wiped out in the U.S. in 1966, experts warn it could hitch a ride on wild animals like deer or feral pigs. Don’t panic, but stay alert: check animals for wounds, treat injuries fast, and call your vet if you spot maggots. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn…
