Can Warbles Spread to Humans?

While warbles are gross and unsightly, they can easily be removed with a knife. Even if they're not removed, the meat is perfectly edible. Warbles don't spread diseases to humans, and cooking kills them. There is no need to discard a harvested animal with warbles.

Can humans get warbles?

Humans can be infested with Cuterebra larvae but not from their pets. You may become exposed to the larvae in the same manner as your pet by contacting soil or mulch that is found near rabbit or rodent burrows.

Is warble contagious?

Warbles aren't contagious between felines, but cats that spend time outdoors around areas where rabbits and rodents burrow are susceptible to warbles. The larvae may stick to a cat's fur and then crawl into a cat's nose, a wound, or into a cat's eye.
