AUSTIN, Texas — Governor Abbott says he's now working to protect the food supply and your wallet. He's issued a disaster declaration over a flesh-eating fly that could threaten it!
It's called the screwworm, and it's exactly as disturbing as it sounds. The fly lays eggs in open wounds on animals, and when those eggs hatch, the maggots feed on living flesh.
If it's not treated fast, livestock can die, and that's why Texas has issued the disaster declaration. The infestation is spreading in parts of Mexico, close enough that state and federal officials are moving now to protect Texas cattle.
