And today we're going to talk about how you got that thing that you got.

And we begin with a story of a guy from Maryland who went down to Central America.

The New World Screwworm sounds like something out of a nightmare, they say.

And it's officially now in the United States.

The Department of Health and Human Services just yesterday confirmed the first human case

of the flesh-e eating parasite in the country.

Cool. Now the case is travel associated. The Maryland resident had recently returned from

traveling in Central America. Sources initially said the person had been in Guatemala,

but the official announcement indicates it was El Salvador.

How do they mess that up? Where were you? I was in Guatemala. Say he was in El Salvador. Okay. Are they close?

I mean, they're close, but like if you ask me the question of where were, especially when you say, hey, Mr. Hill, you have a flesh-eating parasite. Where were you? If I say Guatemala, good chance

I was in Guatemala. They're like, we're going to go ahead and sail Salvador. The rest of the

public is very low, but this is the first human case of travel-associated New World Screw Worm.

Is there like an old world, like the old screwworm or something? It is a parasitic infestation of fly larvae from the outbreak, affected country identified.

So, yes, I guess he did have his outbreak here in the United States.

Right.

Now, the statement reads, decades after it nearly eradicated the parasitic fly, which largely does threaten cattle,

U.S. is now fighting to keep it out after it was detected just 700 miles south of Texas and moving

north. Now, no cases in animals in the U.S. have been confirmed this year, but the beef industry is on

high alert. Now, here's what goes down.

The parasitic fly lays eggs in open wounds on any warm-blooded animal,

and the hundreds of screw-worm larvae then hatch and they feed on your flesh and will kill their hosts, if not treated.
