## Resource

Screwworms are back—and Tennessee’s tightening its grip. This nasty tropical fly lays eggs in living tissue, causing devastating wounds in livestock and pets. Two confirmed cases in Texas have triggered new rules: animals from infested states need vet certificates plus proof of treatment and 48-hour approval before entry. While winters usually kill the parasite, vigilance is key—watch for wounds or odd behavior, and report anything suspicious. Eradication is possible—history says so.
