Screwworm Outbreak 2026: Texas Disaster Declaration and 12 U.S. Cases
Texas has now declared a State of Disaster over the New World Screwworm outbreak as confirmed U.S. cases climb to 12 across six Texas counties and one in New Mexico. Cattle, goats, a sheep, and a dog are now infected, with new hotspots hundreds of miles beyond the original South Texas cluster. CDC’s emergency operations center is active, FDA is fast-tracking livestock and pet treatments, and USDA is deploying sterile flies along the border while 185,000+ animal cases and 2,100+ human cases in Mexico and Central America keep constant pressure on the U.S. front line.

If only there had been a program in place to prevent this…oh yeah.
don't eat raw/rare meat — you can see the worms BUT you cannot see the eggs easily
Conservatives (Trump) brought this on you.
