Hopefully they have this new world screw worm contained to the keys. This could cause all kinds of trouble for the cattle industry again. By the way Brazil is the screw worm capital, I wonder if we imported them from there?

This first showed up in the new a couple months ago. At the time it seemed the biologists in the area were extremely confident they could keep it contained and get it eradicated. I haven't heard anything on it recently, I hope they're right.
