Add screwworm to the long list of BS diseases these maggot ridden illegal invaders brought with them.

"One telltale sign is seeing maggots around open sores. Another is a foul-smelling odor from the affected part of the body."

Check.

So Biden has returned to the old stomping grounds. He is a screwed up worm. How many more Bidens are there? Might be an epidemic.

The “first case” is being hyped: I had a boss return from a trip to Costa Rica 20 years ago with some in his scalp.

Can the flies be identified as "screwworm" flies?

I mean, do they look like common house flies, blue-bottle flies, etc. or can you tell by looking at them they're different?

I think if you could spot them, it would make eradicating them easier.

No, Carnival doesn’t go to El Salvador, but from what I understand they bring a little taste of Zimbabwe to their ports of call.
