Something's going on...
Woman who been raises horses for 30 years in Ohio says “I've never had to deal with these many ticks”
“I can't take the tick situation anymore. The tick situation in this state, there are ticks everywhere”
Almost everyone says this is due to Bill Gates. The reason why is because The Gates Foundation is funding Tick Research
The Gates Foundation funded a biotech firm called Oxitec for research on genetically modifying cattle ticks
Farmers claim to be funding “boxes of ticks”on their properties
People think because Bill Gates is funding tick research there is a high likelihood we would see a huge increase in ticks. This would mean Gates could sell more of his products to deal with the problem
There is a well documented tick surge hitting Ohio hard right now, spring 2026, especially for livestock owners
Ohio has new tick species. Ohio went from basically 1 medically important tick species 20 years ago to having 5 now. Some of these populations grow very fast
Lyme disease surge: Cases skyrocketed from ~40 in 2010 → 415 in 2020 → over 2,800 in 2025, with 2026 already trending high
Keep in mind a Lyme disease vaccine is actively in the works
So without the ticks, they can’t sell their vaccines
You’ll never guess who’s making it, Pfizer and Valneva
