## Resource

Screwworms are back—and they’re targeting horses and dogs in Texas. For the first time ever, a confirmed case was found in a ranch horse in Presidio County, with another in a dog in Crockett County. These invasive flies lay eggs on living flesh, posing serious risks to livestock, wildlife, and even humans. With 49 cases reported statewide and two active outbreaks, the USDA and U.S. Equestrian Federation are sounding the alarm: check your animals daily for wounds, swelling, discharge, or maggots. Stay alert—especially if you’re near animals in Texas. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
