flag Invasive hammerhead worms spotted in Ontario communities.

flag Hammerhead worms, invasive and carnivorous, have been spotted in multiple Ontario communities this spring. flag Growing up to 10 centimeters long, these worms secrete a neurotoxin that can irritate skin and eyes and harm pets if ingested. flag Experts advise against touching them and recommend collecting them with a shovel or covered hands to place in soapy water or a vinegar solution before disposing of them. flag Because they can regenerate from cut pieces, mechanical destruction is ineffective. flag Residents are urged to report sightings to the province’s invasive species hotline.
