    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.

      “Males have to grow these outrageously large testes and the sperm are all rolled up inside,” Pitnick explains. “The testes are about 11 percent of the male’s total body mass.”

      Damn

      Fun fact: fruit Flys are sexed (both in the sense of determining their biological sense, and the act of fornication) by “sex combs”. The forearms of the males have little “combs” (absent in females) that the males use to shove a big ol ball of sperm into the female.

      You are welcome for this unasked bit of knowledge.

      Anyone who paid attention in Biology class. All* animals have gamete-producing gonads.

      *there’s weird exceptions, like sponges.

    One more reason for me to absolutely hate fruit flies.

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