tldr: it’s silicosis
Even The Atlantic is stooping to clickbait headlines these days. An unfortunate look for a publication with otherwise excellent journalism.
I hope that I’m wrong but I’m predicting that silicosis will be a relatively small issue there. Since the environmental protection agency of USA is getting less funds, expect infectious and parasitic diseases to make a comeback. Including stuff like botflies.
Screwflies recently managed to cross the Darien Gap. This timeline is so amazing. Waiting for "we can’t compete with China in rare earth production because of environmental regulation, so it is all repealed. "
They’re already past Yucatán - one case was detected in Veracruz three days ago. Except what people say about cockroaches also applies to flies, if you’re seeing one there are a thousand, specially in the wildlife.
