Summary
Screwworms are back in Texas—with 11 confirmed cases, including a goat in Sutton County—and this nasty pest could threaten livestock and even humans. Officials have quarantined six counties, released billions of sterile flies to curb reproduction, and approved emergency meds for pets. If you spot larvae or suspect an infestation, report it fast. Stay safe outdoors: cover wounds, use repellent, and treat clothing. Risk to the public is low, but don’t ignore the signs. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
