FDA Approves New Wound Spray for Screwworms | Pierre News

FDA just approved emergency use of CLiK Extra, a groundbreaking wound spray that stops New World screwworms before they cause damage—no bug-killing chemicals, just disruption of their growth cycle. Designed for livestock and wild animals, it’s applied at first sign of injury or during procedures like dehorning. While not full approval, the FDA sees its benefits as outweighing risks—and it’s available without a prescription. If infestation already exists, vets must be consulted. Developed by Elanco US, this is a major new tool in protecting animal health until the public health emergency ends.
