The 9,209 people in #ZavalaCounty #Texas as of the 2024 census are about to go through some things. They're dumping millions of radioactivly sterilized #Screwworm flys and using ground release stations in the 20 km "quarantine" "infested zone" around the detection. The sterilized flys don't eat flesh, only the magots, so they aren't a danger because obviously they can't produce eggs but they're going to be EVERYWHERE. Expect human & animal screenings with quarantine movement restrictions.
Fun fact about #ZavalaCounty, #Texas where yesterday #Trump's #USDA confirmed the 1st #USA bovine case of #NewWorldScrewworm in the decades since it was previously eradicated, it's not even on the border with Mexico. How'd it get there past Trump #borderClosures, Trump #quarantines & at least 1 other county? #NWS is a parasitic fly, it does not care about borders. This will spread rapidly in the predicted hotter than normal summer heat. Hope y'all love expensive #beef!
