Pretty fucked up of USA Today to violate HIPAA by outing RFK Jr. as patient zero for Las Plagas. The worms in his skull should be between him and his homeopath.
This is slander, I look nothing like these worms and have powers humanity could only dream of.
The screw worm control program was one of the USAID projects canceled this year. Now, of course they could have been trying to eradicate it completely instead of just keeping it from the US border, but still kinda funny
BRB, gonna check how many screwworms I can find in my homemade seitan
oh actually there’s zero screwworms, I don’t even need to check
if you’re still eating meat at this point, honestly, what the fuck are you thinking?
Isn’t this almost entirely a risk for producers, not the consumers? The article says nothing about how the patient was infected.
Patient was likely infected via traditional route - small cut that a fly laid eggs in.
Absolutely horrifying that these could make a resurgence
Hell yeah it is. I’m spitting distance from Mexico. I don’t eat beef, but the fly dont give a fuck what I eat, I’ll do fine in a pinch I reckon.
Ugh theres not even like a medication to take or rub on the spot where they’ve gotten in, it has to be manually removed! Good reason to keep any fresh wounds covered
oh boy wait till you hear what the fkn cure is.
Horse paste.
lol well at least that actually makes sense, even if its technically still an off-label use
feeling like you should give a shit about the workers on this here forum chapo.chat
I mean, the fly dont give a fuck if you eat beef or not so what’s the point in being smug?
what’s the point in being smug?
Go vegan
I mean yeah, but, the fly ain’t vegan so what the human consumes is mostly moot.
I’m sure keeping 8000 cows in a small shed has no implications for parasite vectors
I’m sure jumping to conclusions is actually productive instead of recognizing the path for infection via this parasite.
The infection path to this, were it ever to take hold, is gonna be mostly livestock and it’s associated workers. Now I’m not gonna say this single case means it’s all gone down the shitter but if you would want to prevent this, not keeping a shed of 8000 cows would be a good start
