"The parasite does not pose a food safety threat... It follows months of warnings from U.S. and Texas agriculture officials and cattle industry leaders, as the pest steadily moved north through Mexico toward the American border. “For months, the screwworm has advanced rapidly through Mexico in spite of the USDA’s existing gameplan,” Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller said Wednesday... The primary weapon against screwworm is a decades-old technique that has eliminated the parasite from the U.S. in the past — releasing sterilized male flies into affected areas. The most recent human screwworm case in the U.S. was identified in Maryland last year after a traveler returned from El Salvador. The person recovered, and federal health officials found no evidence that the parasite had spread to others." Hmmm...maybe Goo Goo would like to help, they're big on releasing bugs: AI Overview Google's life sciences division, Verily, is seeking federal permission through its Debug program to release up to 64 million specially bred, non-biting male mosquitoes across California and Florida. The initiative uses naturally occurring bacteria to safely sterilize male insects, aiming to drastically reduce wild mosquito populations and stop the spread of fatal diseases.
