    Stop spreading panic.

    While NWS can infect humans—and those cases are grisly—it is relatively rare.

    The US has halted imports of cattle, bison, and horses from Mexico to try to keep the parasite out. Officials have also set up nearly 8,000 traps across Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. Among 13,000 screening samples, so far, none have turned up NWS.
