What might happen if screwworms ever return, and how climate change and global travel could open that door again. The ripple effects on wildlife, agriculture, and entire ecosystems when such a parasite disappears. Told with creepy details, real cases, and fascinating science, this book is perfect for curious readers who love strange true stories, biology with bite, and nature's darker secrets.
