Screw Worm

[sep0667]

I'm surprised I havent seen anything posted here or any pages/podcasts about the screw worm. Hopefully it gets under control down there in TX.

I dont see them making it this far north unless transported in live infected animals from what I have read. Sounds like it could be devastating for the deer herd in the south if it gets out of control. Hopefully they get the sterile fly program ramped up quickly.
