A flesh-eating New World screwworm was recently detected in Mexico just 25 miles from the United States border, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The encounter was the closest to U.S. soil since at least last September, federal data shows.
The USDA prominently notes on a webpage dedicated to the New World screwworm that the pest "is not currently present" stateside and that "the current risk to livestock, other animals, and people in the United States remains very low."
But in recent months and years, the parasite has shown up closer to the U.S. than ever before.
Last year, the first case of a New World screwworm infestation in a human was confirmed in the U.S., the Department of Health and Human Services announced at the time. The case was detected in a traveler who had returned to Maryland from El Salvador.

The New World screwworm is a parasitic fly that feeds on warm-blooded animals and people. It lays its eggs in open wounds or orifices like the eyes, ears, nose or mouth, which can then eat living tissue or flesh once they hatch, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Screwworm flies used to be in the United States, they were driven back using sterile males.
For years, the US and Mexico cooperated to keep the flies as far south as possible and at one point even decided to eradicate the species.

Yet there are still millions of people unaffected by it, yet trying to come here and have it tag along with them.

Immigrants don't bring the fly. The fly flies on its own, it can go 20 - 30 miles looking for a mate. With climate change, its getting more and more warmer areas
that are climate suitable for it.

Baggers in the South have lived with plague-like conditions for centuries It is literally tied to lower IQ scores in the South. Combined with the heat, of course.

Bird flu, screwworm monitoring among foreign aid programs killed by Trump
03/27/25 3:04 PM
Among the GHS projects killed were some dedicated to monitoring and containing avian flu and New World Screwworm in Central America, monitoring avian flu outbreaks in Asia and improving the detection of new strains, and efforts to combat swine fever, according to a person familiar with the situation granted anonymity to speak frankly.
In total, more than 100 U.S.-funded FAO programs were terminated, worth around $382 million.

Then liberals put it on the endangered species list and made it illegal to swat.

More "news" from America's enemies, typed out in an underground HAMAS underground bunker below some bombed out GAZA building, parroting the orders of some rag head in Iran. Starting that war against Israel, ordered by your raghead masters, really didn't work out all that well, did it? All your big mouth plants here in the USA ALL SEEM TO HAVE BEEN AND MADE TO GO AWAY. Not much left of your "movement"

He just couldn’t get the nuts and bolts of it right.
