How Nuclear Flies Protect You from Flesh-Eating Parasites <br /><br />A war has been raging for decades in the jungles of Panama, as we fight one of the most terrifying parasites on Earth. It is so relentless that our best defense is to drop 100 million radiation-blasted, flesh-eating flies from the sky – every week. <br />It’s one of the most successful biological campaigns in history, but it’s a war we can never stop fighting… and one we can’t afford to lose. <br />Deep in the tropical jungles of Panama, a silent war is being fought—against a horrifying parasite known as the screwworm. This parasite doesn't just invade the body… it eats it alive from the inside out. To stop its spread, scientists have turned to an unexpected weapon: nuclear flies. These are sterilized male screwworms, bombarded with radiation and released by the millions from planes. When they mate with wild females, no offspring are produced—breaking the parasite's deadly cycle. <br /><br />This strategy has saved millions of animals (and humans) from gruesome deaths, protecting livestock, communities, and even entire economies. But this battle must continue every single week, without fail. Because if we stop, they come back. And when they return… they come hungry. <br /><br />Discover how science, radiation, and biology are working together in one of humanity's most fascinating and high-stakes battles against nature. <br /><br /><br />--- <br /><br />🔍 <br />1.
