Since I do not see the New World Screwworm issue going away any time soon, I’m just gonna make a thread I can pin to my profile. Do you want to know why the screwworms have come back? Check this thread:…

An addendum thread—someone asked, quite sensibly, if we have ivermectin now, are they still as big a deal? I go into some detail about why they are. Err…buy my book? [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Had a very complicated horror dream, but most interesting part was a curse-jar labeled “A man had a toothache, but when he looked inside his mouth, he saw tiny miners chipping snow-white birds out of the enamel.” Unusually coherent for one of my dreams.
