by 100,000 ticks at once.
It's amazing.
That never happened before.
And now all of a sudden it's kind of becoming routine because the ticks aren't dying off in the winter like they're supposed to.
And again, it's because of climate change.
And then in the Northeast, Chuck...
One of the reasons why there's been this explosion of ticks is because there's been an explosion of deer to support the tick population.
Back in the day, there were things like mountain lions and there were predators that would help control the deer population.
Yeah, wolves.
They're even suggesting reintroducing wolves to help control the deer population.
You can bet that's going to happen.
No, I mean, do you think so?
Yeah, totally.
Like if 300,000 people a year are coming down with Lyme in the United States, they're going to start reintroducing wolves to combat if it has even a half of a chance.
I'd be interested to see if that happens.
