Predatory Hammerhead Worms Spotted in East Texas, Public Cautioned
East Texas Residents Warned About Predatory Hammerhead Worms East Texas, USA – A recent video uploaded by local resident 🌺texas_river83🪷 has brought attention to the presence of hammerhead worms in the region. The short clip, which has garnered over 300 views, shows a distinctively shaped, long, dark-brown hammerhead worm resting on a piece of paper. The author's accompanying description noted, "Leave it to me to pick up a predatory flat worm that shouldn't be handled with bare hands." This serves as an important reminder for the public regarding these creatures. Hammerhead worms (Bipalium spp.) are known to be invasive species in many parts of the world, including the United States. They are predatory, primarily feeding on earthworms, and can secrete a neurotoxin called tetrodotoxin, which can cause skin irritation in humans if handled directly. Experts advise against touching these worms with bare hands and recommend methods of disposal that do not involve cutting them, as they can regenerate from fragments.
