Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The NSW fly and its larvae are flesh-eating parasites that pose a significant threat to warm-blooded animals.

“This is not just a cattle issue,” Woodall says. “This could be dogs. This can be cats. It can get into people. So, anything that is warm blooded could be a host for this flesh-eating parasite.”

Covid and birdflu weren’t enough, the great satan must also incubate and export flesh-eating parasites. agony-deep Die already so you can stop fucking over the rest of the world, please.

Ive seen botfly extraction from scalps ears etc. So this will be similar. And it won't be pretty

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I’ve seen it come out of eyes. Makes me shudder whenever I think about it.

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

Yeah that too. Then you see it in pets. Nose etc. Nose hurts for them. People will be shocked how many grow in small spaces.

You could have had flesh feeding beanis but you love the worm so much, it feeds on your flesh instead. The brain worms are already in charge of the imperial core and it will spread until the imperial core is being replaced by imperial worms that won't stop until it is planet of the worms basil-rage-cry The woodworms are evolving while you are sleeping and they will leave wormikka and swim across with wormkind and eat feed on us while keeping us alive in worm chambers feeding us wormslop. You will not feed on me. I will burn myself alive before that happens.

xi-plz before it is too late.

since my introduction to the anti-parasitic was from chuds back when we almost treated covid-19 seriously, the fact ivermectin is actually a viable answer this time is ticklin my ironicals

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

Chuds will respond to it by snorting interferon.

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

Very cool, Posadism will win.

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

Lol, this was literally one of the examples of conservative 'science dumb' news stories that was really helpful.

By learning the mating patterns of screwworms they were able to eradicate the parasite and open up so much more farmland
