    I honestly did not have eye worms from fly testicles on my apocalyptic bingo.

    Anyone else?

    The spread to bears shows the worm is gaining ground and new hosts in the US.

    Since then, it has shown up in at least 11 dogs—in New York

    As it has already shown up in NY, we can only guess which wormy brained individual spread it to bears

      Damn, RFK is spreading eye worms from bears and J.D. Vance is spreading drug-resistant gonorrhea by fucking couches without protection.

    Looks like cases are mostly being found on the east coast, and I luckily don’t live over there. Still, ew.
