    don't just chop it up:

    each segment will grow into a new #hammerheadWorm 😬

    the #tetrodotoxin (same neurotoxin in pufferfish) in hammerhead worms is a threat to your cats and dogs

    and as R. Scott says, to you:

    do *not* handle it

    #birds tend to avoid them, but some species can eat it

    the threat the hammerhead worms pose to birds' food sources is the greater concern

    the current thinking is that birds will not be able to control the hammerhead worm invasion
