First human case of flesh-eating screwworm parasite detected in the U.S., HHS confirms

"Don't be a bunch of liberal woke idiots! Just man up and deal with the flesh eating parasite, we'll get herd immunity!"

This is nothing a workout while wearing your jeans won't fix.

If the name has you creeped out you really don't want to look up the photos . Trust me.

The case, involving a person who had recently traveled to El Salvador

So ICE brought screw worms to the US. Great.

This includes plans to breed billions of sterile flies and dump them from the air over southern Texas and Mexico in the hope of stopping the parasite’s spread.

Incidentally, this isn't a new plan, it's a successful plan that's been used against Screwworms in South America and eradicated them entirely in some places. It does take constant effort to ensure they don't come back, and the US has broadly funded this eradication program for years because of the global good it does for relatively little cost comparatively. If Mexico and South America's livestock is safe, we make money and have food and best of all, the worm doesn't make it into the US to torture human and animal alike.

I mean, that's the first paragraph. Do we really need to spell out what gets written in paragraph two, or just go straight to the article from May?

If only we had a program of releasing billions of sterile males in a very narrow strip of land to keep them from coming up here. Oh we did? Trump axed it? Not surprising.

nah they're just selfish ignorant fucks
