On 11 March 2026 the Texas Department of Agriculture posted : "Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller today applauded the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s decision to issue an Emergency Use Authorization for F10 Antiseptic Wound Spray with Insecticide, a topical treatment designed to help prevent and treat infestations of the devastating New World screwworm.
“This is exactly the kind of proactive action we need from our federal partners as we continue to respond to the New World screwworm threat,” Commissioner Miller said. “This is one of the most destructive parasites livestock producers can face. If it ever gains a foothold in the United States again, the economic damage to Texas ranchers and our food supply could be enormous, so we need the entire toolbox ready to protect against it.”
The authorization allows the product to be used in cattle, horses, sheep, goats, deer, raptors and other wild birds, pet birds, and captive wild and exotic mammals. Federal officials determined that available scientific evidence shows the product may be effective in preventing and treating screwworm myiasis, and that its potential benefits outweigh the risks when used as directed."
