TERRIFYING: Dangerous Parasite That Eats Animals and Humans Alive Rapidly Marches Toward America With Help from the Mexican Drug Cartels
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/ ^ | Jun. 1, 2025 | Cullen Linebarger

A dangerous flesh-eating parasite is rapidly marching toward the United States despite several desperate efforts to halt its advance. And one can thank the Mexican drug cartels for this.

As The Atlantic notes, the United States has been fighting an aerial war against the New World screwworm for 70 years. This parasite eats animals alive, including cows, pigs, deer, dogs, and even humans.

The larvae of the parasitic fly harboring the worm rip through flesh and transform small pricks into huge, revolting wounds. Worse, they produce foul-smelling odors resembling sewer gas.

It’s no wonder the worm’s scientific name, C. hominivorax, translates to “man-eater.”

In the 1950s, the U.S. Department of Agriculture launched an all-out assault to eradicate the screwworm.

Here is how they did it, according to The Atlantic.

Workers raised screwworms in factories, blasted them with radiation until they were sterile, and dropped the sterile adult screwworms by the millions—even hundreds of millions—weekly over the U.S., then farther south in Mexico, and eventually in the rest of North America.

The worm was eradicated from North America and Central America in the 20th century, but things have turned dark.

The outbreak began in Panama, skyrocketing from dozens a year to 1,000, despite ongoing drops of sterile flies. According to the Atlantic, the parasite then began moving northward, at first slowly and then rapidly, by 2024.

As of this month, the parasite has advanced 1,600 miles through eight countries to reach the Mexican States of Oaxaca and Veracruz, just 700 miles away from the Texas border.

Yes, ivermectin is effective against screwworms, particularly for preventing and treating early-stage infestations. It can be used in livestock to prevent screwworm larvae from hatching or to treat wounds where larvae are present. Well, well, well, another use for that substance that was highly derided during COVID...

The discoverer of this medicine received the Noble Prize for medicine for his discovery.

>> now we’re going to need masks and mail-in ballots for everyone as an emergency precaution?

Yeah, but just for a couple years to flatten the curve. 😉

Back in the days when we had a functioning country, the CDC would publish to doctors a list of diseases and infections that were currently circulating in the US so they could be on the look out for them and treat them.

As the illegal alien invasion got rolling in the 2000s , the CDC stopped publicizing these diseases because it would expose the fact that many new stains of old diseaeswere coming into the country and new cases of disease that had been eradicated in the US were being introduced by uncontrolled illegal immigration.

We have fallen so low that illegals aliens were being imported into the US under the Biden invasion specifically to get their exotic, hard to treat and often chronic diseases treated for free courtesy of the US taxpayer.

“...transform small pricks into huge, revolting wounds”

That’s also what you can get from a brown recluse bite.

Ivermectin is a treatment. Our friend who runs a clinic in Central America uses a “for humans” version he/she gets from the US. Comecally, the bottles have a label that says “not for domestic use.” i.e. the US.

If we can confine the problem to DC and NYC it might be contained.
