What are it's effects in animals? ZFT ( talk) 00:11, 10 May 2015 (UTC) reply

I currently am infected with what I believe are these. Who do I contact? My regular doctor? Its been going on for a while and I've looked all over trying to figure it out. After reading this I'm almost positive this is it. I had a hornworms

pupa from my boyfriends iguanas food that I wanted to let turn into a moth. It is an incredibly long story , but I thought the moth was still in there I fed it sugar water and fruit. Unbeknownst to me, I was feeding whatever other creature had inhabited its shell.  Eventually it was , what seemed like spraying a poof of spores into my air. So I put it in the garage. At that time it was just a globby thing. But responsive to my voice and would suck the juice from fruit I gave it. Anyhow , any pointers in what doctors to call would be greatly appreciated.
