Fried Facts About New World Screwworm

Here are some fried facts about the New World screwworm (Cochliomyia hominivorax)—a nasty parasitic fly that’s as gruesome as it sounds:

🔥 1. 'Flesh-Eating Fly'

The screwworm’s larvae feed on living tissue—yes, while the host is still alive. They burrow into open wounds (or even natural orifices) of mammals, including livestock, pets, and even humans.

🔥 2. Named After Its Screw-Shaped Larvae

The maggots have distinct spiral ridges (like a screw) and hooked mouthparts—perfect for digging into flesh.

🔥 3. Once a Major Livestock Killer

Before control efforts, screwworms caused millions in losses to cattle industries in the U.S. and Latin America. Infested animals could die from infections or tissue destruction.

🔥 4. Eradicated Using Sterile Insect Technique (SIT)

The U.S. wiped them out by releasing sterile male flies in the 1950s–60s. These males mated with wild females, producing no offspring, eventually collapsing populations.

🔥 5. Still a Threat in Some Regions

While eradicated in the U.S., screwworms persist in parts of South America and the Caribbean. A 2016 outbreak in Florida (Key deer) showed they could return if vigilance slips.

🔥 6. Humans Can Get Infested Too (Myiasis)

People with untreated wounds or poor hygiene can suffer screwworm infestations, leading to severe pain, infection, and even death if untreated.

🔥 7. They Smell Like Rotting Meat

Female screwworms are attracted to blood and necrotic tissue, using their keen sense of smell to find hosts.

Final Thought:

Thankfully, sterile male releases and strict quarantines keep screwworms in check—but they remain one of nature’s most horrifying parasites. 🪰💀
