Summary
USDA clears the way for limited cattle imports from Mexico, reopening the Douglas, Arizona port August 24th in a phased rollout to combat the New World screwworm outbreak — a flesh-eating parasite that’s hit 42 U.S. cases, mostly in Texas.

Restore normalcy — but questions remain about how well the crisis is being managed. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
