If you’re in Texas, you might want to load up on bug spray and start wearing long sleeves. That’s because the Texas Department of Agriculture has announced that an invasion of New World Screwworms — aka flesh-eating flies — is imminent.

The good news? They don’t appear to target humans. The bad news? They target a lot of other stuff — specifically, cattle, a major part of both the Texas economy and American diets. In case you thought beef couldn’t get more expensive!

In order to prevent the devastation from getting *too* severe, the Texas Department of Agriculture has announced that they will be deploying a “scent lure” to attract the flies away from cattle. The problem? That scent smells like rotting flesh.

So, mixed bag here, Texas: The flesh-eating fly problem might be stopped, but your state is going to smell like animal carcasses for a while.
