ep: 409 – Suck It! The Weaponized Tick Conspiracy.
Season 4 is rolling right along and this week I look at a conspiracy that is actually getting attention form the U.S. House of Representatives. Were ticks studied by the American military for the purpose of using them as biological weapons? Even though a lot of people say this is impossible, there is quite a bit of evidence to show that it may actually be the case. Mistakenly, Lyme Disease gets used as the “go to” for this conspiracy but I’ll talk about why it may just be the patsy!
