We all don’t like illegals, but human infection is extremely rare. Mexico has had a screwworm problem for years. We banned the live import of Mexican cattle over it. The bug can fly it is a fly after all and since it can also we lofted by winds too it was only a matter of time before it crossed the Rio. It has a natural vector in feral hogs , deer and any other mammal in the wild. South Texas is loaded with deer and hogs even if we treat the cattle those natural vectors ensure the fly breeds and breeds more.

The solution is how we beat it before all the way down to Panama the last time. Breeding billions of sterile male flies that get with a female who only breeds once thus ending that line. Kerrville is the lab that breeds those flies using radiation back in the day they are doing it again they have been releasing millions of male flies every other day in those counties.
