Remember: Two of the objectives of the Smart Cities Initiative is to concentrate the human population in hive megacities and outlaw human visitation to wild places.
Sure would make that easier if going into the wilds was a guarantee of getting sick and dying....

Ticks and Lyme disease, did they experiment and re-release it in the 60/70s?

I could swear there was a submission on here a few months ago about a former researcher at one of the labs on the East Coast disclosing the program he was involved in studying tick-borne diseases, essentially admitting to it being a bioweapons program.
Why is it not in my history?

I believe they prefer to be called ‘chegroes’.

nine out of ten mites in Lumber River State Park were infected with scrub typhus.
Eight out of ten in Kerr Lake State Recreation Area carried the bacteria behind the disease, as well as one out of ten in Falls Lake State Recreation Area and Morrow Mountain State Park.
One out of the five from Merchant Millpond State Park was also infected.
Dr Chen and her team said in the paper: 'This result is... significant because it indicates... circulation of [scrub typhus] in chiggers [mites] collected within the continental United States.'
It was not clear how the disease had reached the US, but it could be the case that a person who was infected with it arrived in America.

Right? I'm outside more than I am inside. I've never seen a chigger, let alone been bitten by one.

Ticks though, I see those fuckers often. Thankfully the chickens take care of them so well I haven't seen a tick at all this year.

I went to MO once in the early 90s

Chiggers everywhere. Ticks everywhere.

Miserable state.

NW Arkansas has a lot too. Like checking myself multiple times a day for those fuckers. If you live there you almost have to have chickens or guinea fowl to keep the tick population at bay

Never seen a chigger ya say? Head to Oklahoma and then check back in. LOL. Spent some time in Southern Mo and didn't encounter any chiggers. Copperheads they had.
