Urgency in Action: We Must Eradicate New World Screwworm

NCBA’s Woodall says the goal is complete eradication — not just from the U.S., but from Mexico and Central America, ultimately pushing the fly back to its original range in South America.

    The NSW fly and its larvae are flesh-eating parasites that pose a significant threat to warm-blooded animals.

    “This is not just a cattle issue,” Woodall says. “This could be dogs. This can be cats. It can get into people. So, anything that is warm blooded could be a host for this flesh-eating parasite.”

    Covid and birdflu weren’t enough, the great satan must also incubate and export flesh-eating parasites. agony-deep Die already so you can stop fucking over the rest of the world, please.

    You could have had flesh feeding beanis but you love the worm so much, it feeds on your flesh instead. The brain worms are already in charge of the imperial core and it will spread until the imperial core is being replaced by imperial worms that won’t stop until it is planet of the worms basil-rage-cry The woodworms are evolving while you are sleeping and they will leave wormikka and swim across with wormkind and eat feed on us while keeping us alive in worm chambers feeding us wormslop. You will not feed on me. I will burn myself alive before that happens.

    xi-plz before it is too late.

    Lol, this was literally one of the examples of conservative ‘science dumb’ news stories that was really helpful.

    By learning the mating patterns of screwworms they were able to eradicate the parasite and open up so much more farmland
