BREAKING: We have received reports—and video evidence—of two potential New World Screwworm (NWS) infestations in U.S. cattle: one in Texas, one in Oklahoma.
We have chosen not to share the videos, because the last time we did, locked us out of our account for 4 weeks.
Reports conflict on whether these cases tested positive or negative for NWS. We sincerely hope they are negative, but we are seeking clarification from the USDA.
We call on @USDA_APHIS to immediately release the results of all recent NWS tests, as it is a requirement that all potential NWS specimens go to National Veterinary Laboratory Services (NVSL) in Ames, IA for official testing.
This is an ongoing threat to our nation. Lack of timely, transparent updates creates unnecessary volatility and uncertainty in the cattle industry —directly hurting the livelihoods of small and independent American ranchers.

We had a screwworm infestation back in the 70s, the Govt let loose sterile female screwworm flies. The problem eventually went away.

I remember that. Mostly Arizona and New Mexico iirc. Probably from cattle wandering across the Mexican border.

I don’t need to see any pictures, but I am guessing that screw worms cannot be eliminated from meat, simply by thoroughly cooking that piece of meat.
