The CDC just put doctors on high alert for the New World screwworm—a flesh-eating parasite now creeping up to the Texas border from Mexico. These nasty bugs lay eggs in wounds, and the larvae literally eat flesh as they burrow deeper. Symptoms? Think visible maggots, foul-smelling wounds, and pain. If you’ve been to Mexico or Central America and have a weird wound, get checked ASAP. This thing can be deadly if ignored! #Health #BodyHealth #CDCAlert
