US Gov to Drop Millions of Flies to Prevent Flesh-Eating Maggots…

The US will soon drop millions of flies from the sky…but why?   I’m Tomi Lahren, find out next.   They say truth is often stranger than fiction and in this case, that’s spot on.   The US government is set to drop millions of flies from the sky to stop the potential invasion of flesh-eating New World screwworm maggots.    These disgusting maggots threaten wildlife, livestock AND humans and are set to hatch in the lower part of the country, soon. If they develop into adult flies, we’re talking BILLIONS lost in cattle and beef.    That’s why involved government agencies have been breeding billions of flies to stave off the maggot infestation and keep it from spreading further north.   In short, the male flies they are breeding will be sterilized with radiation then dropped to mate with female flies whose eggs will then not hatch and hopefully, this will lead to a die out before this infestation spreads further.    Normally I don’t like the government intervening in nature but this sure seems like a worthy project.    The last thing we need is a screwworm maggot infestation!    I’m Tomi Lahren and you watch my show "Tomi Lahren is Fearless" at Outkick.com Learn more about your ad choices.
