“Get Ready, It’s Coming...It’s Inevitable": Sid Miller Sends A Warning Regarding New World Screwworm

Ranchers near the southern border are watching closely after more cases of New World screwworm was confirmed in Mexico.

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller joined RFD-TV’s Jennifer Vickery Smith to tell us his latest findings show these outbreaks are caused by indigenous screwworm flies, and the warning he is sending to producers and pet owners.

“Check livestock, check pets, it’s going to be across the border. I hate to say it, but it’s inevitable.”
