COMMON SENSE says if you see a screwworm in your yard, call the authorities, don’t post a blurry photo asking what it is. Just saw a lady uploading a pic of a giant, pulsating maggot on her mailbox and asking if it’s ‘dangerous for her kids’—meanwhile, the USDA is literally begging people to report these things immediately. This isn’t a garden pest. This is a flesh-eating parasite that can burrow into your pets, your livestock, and even YOU. The sheer lack of urgency is maddening. Maybe next time, instead of asking the internet for advice, you use the one brain cell left and contact your local extension office. We live in a world where people need a sign that says ‘don’t eat the white powder’ on a meth lab. Absolutely insane.
