The Texas animal health ‌commission will modify a previously established infested zone, and the USDA and the Texas parks and wildlife department is conducting additional wildlife surveillance in the area, the USDA said.

I feel like that's not going to stop it spreading.

My friend's dad got one just swimming in a lake when I was like 12. He was sick for months and nearly died. I definitely got some kind of phobia from that, which is to say, this actually was on my bingo card
