We’re still waiting on the baby raccoons. The baby fawns haven’t visited us again. Plus now we are on the lookout for the invasive hammerhead worm.
Evidently, it’s filled with neurotoxins, and no one wants it around, so the local news wants to be sure we know how to kill the hammerhead worm.
That article has the scariest caption I’ve read this year.
The article suggests you put it in a sealed plastic bag, then: “Add vinegar, rubbing alcohol, salt, or soapy water to the bag, or place the sealed bag in the freezer for 48 hours.”
I know that sentence says “or” but everywhere I read “or” I’m doing “and”.

Today is not a day I can read detailed info about this worm. I am saying that everything like this is to be expected in 2026 but Damn! This might be even worse than screwworm, which already gives me the willies and I don’t live near any livestock or have any furry pets.
I don’t think I could bring myself to put that creature in my freezer. Just seems like 2026 would work on it and a horror movie would ensue.
Good luck!
CHM – I suppose the screwworm burrows into you, and this thing stays on the outside and excretes a toxin that seeps into you. So I’d pick this new thing over the screwworm.
