Episode Details

A deadly flesh-eating parasite has been confirmed in Texas, sparking a national emergency alert as federal officials scramble to contain the New World screwworm. The USDA has imposed strict quarantines around the infected calf, while Texas’ agriculture commissioner blasts their response as too slow, demanding faster action — including chemical bait systems to kill adult flies. Though USDA assures the food supply is safe and is deploying billions of sterile flies to break the breeding cycle, Miller insists the White House declare a national agricultural emergency. Authorities are coordinating with international partners, warning livestock owners to inspect animals and report any signs of infestation immediately.
