This parasitic fly’s larvae feed on living tissue, and without treatment, it’s fatal. Authorities have established a 20-kilometer control zone, restricting animal movement to prevent spread. Sterile fly releases and a new production facility opening in 2027 are part of the response. While the threat is serious for animal health and agriculture, Governor Abbott confirmed it poses no food safety risk — infected animals can be treated before reaching the food supply. Residents are urged to monitor their animals and pets closely. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
