A deadly parasite thought to be eradicated in the U.S. for 60 years has resurfaced in Texas, threatening cattle and pets alike. Screwworms feed on live tissue, making open wounds a major risk — vets are urging pet owners to cover wounds and use approved meds like Isoxazolines or Capstar. While pets are currently low risk, experts warn the parasite could spread north via cattle movement, turning Kansas and beyond into potential hotspots. Stay vigilant — your furry friends could be next.

Shooting Reported Downtown Wichita

A 15-year-old girl in Oklahoma is critically ill after participating in the deadly Benadryl challenge, now hospitalized with seizures and zero brain activity. This dangerous social media trend involves taking massive doses of diphenhydramine, risking seizures, heart failure, and brain death. Hospitals nationwide are overwhelmed — Rady Children’s saw five kids in a week, Fort Worth treated over 100 in six months, including one death. Three children died in Connecticut last week alone, echoing past tragedies including another teen death in Oklahoma and a 13-year-old in Ohio. Experts warn of drowsiness, agitation, or flushed skin as overdose signs — act fast if suspected. One father calls it “silly,” but urges urgent education to stop more deaths.

Officials are still investigating the causes, but the takeaway? Stay weather-aware and have a plan when storms roll in.
