🚨 With the recent detection of New World screwworm in a 3-week-old bovine in Zavala County, TX, USDA urges residents to contact your veterinarian right away if you see any suspicious wounds, maggots, or infestations in your animals or herd.

If you see signs of maggot infestations in live or very recently dead wild animals, especially in areas near the U.S./Mexico border, please call 866-4USDA-WS (866-487-3297) to report it to your local USDA Wildlife Services office.

Freezing to 0 F inactivates any microbes like bacteria, yeasts, and molds. Once thawed, they can become active and multiply, increasing the risk of foodborne illness. Always handle thawed foods like perishables to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria! ➡️ https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/safe-food-handling-and-preparation/food-safety-basics/refrigeration
