Not fair! Why do the screw worms get to eat the rich but we don't?
You need to create open wounds on him first but we can make a carnival game out of it with a few bow and arrows. Fun for the whole family.
They could enter through any mucus membrane such as the nose or eyes.
Its going to become endemic to the southern us isnt it.
It was already endemic, we spent 60 years chasing it to Panama and now they’ve escaped containment.
They didn't so much escape containment as the sterile fly program failed to delivery, which most people blame on Trump and DOGE.
It's a slightly complicated issue. Ultimately, Trump's cuts are very much to blame.
The sterile fly program is what was doing the containing, but I hear you, this 100% falls at Trump’s feet.
It could be eradicated again, however we have to have a functioning USDA to coordinate it.
Fuck
The worms are coming for RFK Jr. They need to finish the job.
Have the agriculture you voted for!
Wait until the screw worm crosses with the Ebola and we get Ebola Screwworm. RFK Jr will want to eat it.
Yeah, we're fucked.
But is the dog okay?
How did the DOGE cuts affect people working on this at the federal level or with federal funding?
According to this article,
The return of screwworm comes after the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency, launched by the Trump administration, last year cut funding for a project dedicated to monitoring and containing New World screwworm in Central America.
The funding was axed days before the U.S. ended a temporary suspension of cattle imports from Mexico, meaning livestock was allowed to cross the border without any of the monitoring previously funded by the U.S. Agency of International Development (USAID).
I always wondered where the expression "get screwed" came from as a kid.
Nightmarish creatures.
Also: Added, Fuck
Better get your proteins from less processed food. Get that screwworms in your belly as there's no more beef.
