Summary
A new world screwworm has been spotted in Texas—El Paso is currently clear, but stay alert. This parasitic fly lays larvae that feed on live tissue through wounds on pets and other warm-blooded animals. Don’t panic, but keep a close eye on any outdoor pets for signs of worsening wounds, foul odors, or maggots. Cleanliness and quick action are key—if something looks off, call your vet immediately. A free info session is happening Monday 5:30–8 PM at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research Center—no sign-up needed. Stay informed, stay vigilant, and act fast if you suspect an infestation.
