The U.S. is set to reopen its border to Mexican cattle imports starting August 24th after a year-long ban due to the deadly New World screwworm parasite — a fly larva that can infect any warm-blooded animal. Initial reopenings will begin at the Douglas, Arizona crossing, with other New Mexico crossings pending. Despite the ban, cases have surged in Texas and New Mexico, while Mexico reports over 1,700 active cases across 29 states. Cattle will face strict U.S. inspections to prevent larvae hitchhiking. Mexico’s president vows accelerated efforts in key states like Sonora and Chihuahua, as the livestock industry suffers millions in losses. Officials frame this as a triumph of U.S.-Mexico cooperation. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
