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

What next, is Gates gonna start dropping boxes of malaria-infected mosquitoes?

Remember, there is one reason, ONLY one reason, we don't have malaria in most of North America.

D - D - T.

That's been banished. Once these demented Depopulationists get the idea and bribe the right people, they're gonna bring it RIGHT back into our world.
 
Fleas and ticks are hunted by various natural predators, primarily serving as meals for birds, small mammals, reptiles, and insects. [1, 2, 3]
Specific predators of these pests include:
  • Birds: Chickens, ducks, helmeted guinea fowl, wild turkeys, robins, and starlings actively forage for both fleas and ticks in tall grass and leaf litter.
  • Small Mammals: Opossums are prolific tick eaters, consuming thousands per season during their daily grooming. Bats, shrews, and certain species of mice also consume various pest insects.
  • Reptiles & Amphibians: Frogs, toads, and various species of lizards regularly consume fleas and ticks as part of their insect diet.
    • Insects & Microorganisms: Spiders, ants (such as fire ants), and ground beetles feed on ticks, fleas, and their larvae. Beneficial microscopic nematodes also hunt adult fleas and larvae in the soil. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
 
Make up your own Lugol's Iodine. It is good for many things, including bug bites. I make a batch every few years, 10 grams potassium iodide, 5 grams iodine, and 85 grams water.
Our grandparents used iodine for everything, and it worked!
