This one is about as hare brained as I think I have ever seen.
Apparently the rise in tick populations is because the government is intentionally poisoning possums using ticks that carry some kind of poison and possums eat the doctored ticks and die.
That way the government can keep their bio engineered ticks spreading diseases.

does this poison cause them to wander into the road and sit in the tire tracks , that seems to be the leading cause of possum mortality around me

no education on road crossing , just walk right unto that moving car.

Lets think about that for a minute. Just how do they get them to eat the infested ticks? Did you get that from the National Enquirer?

The whole Possum/tick thing itself is a fine example of the internet herd mentality. I can't help but shake my head every time I see a post from some urban/suburban Karen or Ken gushing about how Possums are tick vacuums.

Possums here seem to prefer table scraps the turkeys don't want, lol

Well, they eat a gazillion ticks a day,, lol. Only natural they would eat a poisonous one. I’ll bet they even make them look more plump and juicy like the ones we’ve seen on a dog all swollen up full of blood looking like a grape.

So, if there are poisoned ticks and a person gets bit by a tick, do they die too? Might be true. Sounds like some hair-brained government experiment that goes wrong.

Read where they are putting telemetry collar on possums down in south florida, turning them loose, python eats possum, follow signal to collar, and kill python. Not sure if collar is re-usable.

If this has any truth to it, is Anthony Fauci or Bill Gates involved?
