And it’s not just Mexico.
From a few months ago...
“...The parasite made a devastating comeback in 2024, infecting livestock, wildlife and in rare cases humans across Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico...”

A dope like me raises her OWN steer every 18 month cycle. Grass fed in season, hay and sweet oats to finish. Lots of water, fresh air and sunshine. No ‘feed lot’ for my guys! If I can do it, pretty much anyone can that has the space.
People are too far removed from their food sources. Ugh!
I was wondering how soon the screw worms would be back in the USA with all the illegals who had flooded the border.
