Please note: there is a picture of a deer with a grusome wound left by screwworm infection - judging by the size, it's just slightly smaller than a soccer ball (or football, depending on where you live).

I have a rather misanthropic mindset, but I consider area control of screwworms to be something good that our species has done. These parasitoids cause horrific injuries.

I was about to say I was grateful that human infection by screwworms is low, but then I realized that it will be worse if we lose tons of livestock to them.

If the image of the dead deer didn't fuck you over, the article links to a far worse thing:
A YouTube video of a person having 150 of them removed surgecally from their nose.

They are just gorgeous though. They look like incredibly well-knapped flint blades.
