"Spread of Invasive Flatworms Across Florida Counties"
Invasive New Guinea flatworms, known for their toxicity and the rat lungworm parasite they carry, have rapidly spread across most Florida counties, posing a significant threat to the state's ecosystem. Jeannin Tilford, owner of Toad Busters, has been finding these toxic worms in various properties and is concerned about their impact on the environment. With their resilience and difficulty to eradicate, efforts are underway to develop a solution to control their population and minimize their danger to humans and wildlife.
