So the screwworms are a lot like Democrats.

I know screw worms attack cattle in the Southern border region. I never heard of them being found in chickens.
To: BenLurkin
Out of curiosity, I stopped in to a Popeyes for lunch a year or so ago.
I ordered some fish combo platter thing and was informed that they had run out of fish.
The night before.
Wow.

I wish I hadn’t read, I’m going to have nightmares about flesh eating screworms now.

Trying to figure out how screw worm larvae or eggs could end up in cooked rice and beans...what was she doing, eating out of the dumpster?
The fly is attracted to open wounds, it’s not a housefly though it looks similar. Maybe she had gingivitis and just took a nap out by the barn with her mouth open?

To: BenLurkin
Just for reference, the screw worm is a fly that lays its eggs near the edge of an open wound. The eggs hatch and do indeed consume the surrounding flesh. Some species will only consume dead flesh and have been used to clean up wounds in third world contries.
I suppose a fly could have laid eggs in the rice and beans but I am not sure if the eggs or hatched larvae could survive in the digestive tract.
As far as the “worms” laying eggs in the digestive tract, doesn’t happen. It is the fly that lays the eggs.

Love that screwworm from Popeyes!
To: BenLurkin
Without other customers getting screwworms at the same time, how could she know it was from Popeyes rather than anywhere else she ate during that period of time (day, week, month?) when she could have been infected?

After reading some of the comments regarding how one gets infected it seems to me the lawyer,plaintiff and screwworm are all parasites

I need to find some of those fat eating screwworms and let them have their fill for a while then kill them when I’m back to my fit weight again.

Popeye’s makes some very, very tasty red beans and rice. Best thing on their menu. Not good enough to get screw-worms, though. Well...maybe if I’m really hungry.
