Okay, welcome to the Tick Conspiracy, I'm your host, the dude.
|
|
Anyway, hopefully you're listening to this on Hacker Public Radio because I'm a new
|
|
fan of Hacker Public Radio and I'm submitting to this and I'll have to remake this damn
|
|
podcast if it's not accepted.
|
|
Anyway, here we go.
|
|
What the Tick Conspiracy is about, it's about Ticks and how they're evil little bastards.
|
|
Not only that, but the fact of the matter is that the Northeast United States is under
|
|
siege people, it is completely.
|
|
For the past two years including this one, Ticks have gotten really bad.
|
|
I mean I remember seeing Ticks when I was little but that was after hunting deer and it's
|
|
on a deer.
|
|
I've never seen a tick on a damn dog or on myself until this year.
|
|
Like I've had three Ticks on me that have bitten me and I've had to get antibiotics.
|
|
Three times within literally this month it's ridiculous.
|
|
Like every time I walk outside there's a damn tick on me.
|
|
It's ridiculous and every time like you know I feel something brushing against me or tickling
|
|
my skin or anything like that, I assume it's a tick and I have to check or I just jump
|
|
in the shower.
|
|
So anyway this entire thing is to spread awareness of how awful Ticks are.
|
|
Now this might not concern like you know hackers but it will.
|
|
You have pets, your pets are in danger of getting Lyme disease, your family are in danger
|
|
of getting Lyme disease, hell you are.
|
|
And if you think oh I live in the city I'm safe, you're not safe, there's animals that
|
|
come from the suburbs that go into the cities and spread it to your animals or they could
|
|
jump on you and spread you know the tick minus to you.
|
|
And also cities have rats.
|
|
They have mice, ticks have been known to attack rats and mice and as a matter of fact that's
|
|
actually how they spread Lyme disease according to the CDC I believe.
|
|
That might be inaccurate but I remember hearing about that anyway so what can we do to
|
|
rid ourselves of this tick menace and I'm going to try to be as informative as possible
|
|
because honestly we do not want Lyme disease to spread at all.
|
|
We want it eradicated, so in fact we want the ticks eradicated.
|
|
So I've found a website that what animals can prevent ticks or how can you prevent ticks
|
|
from coming into your yard.
|
|
Now one of them is I got from a meme whether it's true or not they say possums eat a bunch
|
|
of ticks and they can't get Lyme disease.
|
|
Now yes those sources are probably heavily flawed but anything counts, anything shall count
|
|
on that.
|
|
So when you're driving down the road you know how possums will play dead in the middle
|
|
of the road and they get hit by a car.
|
|
When you see a possum on the road let it pass, let it pass, don't run over it.
|
|
The more possums there are the less ticks there will be.
|
|
Also another animal that they say is really good at that or guinea hens.
|
|
Now guinea hens are a type of foul, guinea foul is the actual type of thing.
|
|
But anyway they're a bird that look like little dinosaur things and they're very loud.
|
|
I know this because there's one that's quarter mile down the road will not one guinea
|
|
hen but like a person that lives in the community that I live in that raises them and I could
|
|
hear them a quarter mile down the road clear as day.
|
|
But apparently guinea hens roam your yard and when they just murder ticks.
|
|
So my suggestion is to raise more guinea foul however though you might attract mice with
|
|
feed and everything.
|
|
So you might have to have precautions to not attract rodents for rodents also carry ticks.
|
|
Now they say chickens also do decently but chickens are also more prone to not to roam
|
|
and they are a lot easier to be killed by predators.
|
|
However they also say that to prevent ticks putting up a fence to prevent other animals
|
|
from coming in after you sanitized your yard with guinea hens to destroy the tick menace
|
|
and that will prevent ticks from coming further in.
|
|
Also three feet of wood chips and gravel surrounding all wooded areas or in my case what
|
|
I'm probably going to do if I am allowed to by my parents put three feet of gravel and
|
|
wood chips either or whichever is cheaper around the yard the entire yard whether it's near
|
|
woods or not because I am sick of this damn thing I can't even go out in my yard and let
|
|
my dog out without having a hundred freaking ticks on me it's super ridiculous it's bullshit
|
|
and I'm sick of it I am fucking sick of it I'm about to the point where I'm going to
|
|
set my lawn on fire it's bullshit so I'm taking every precaution as possible so anyway
|
|
what other preventative measures can you take to keep them out of your yard well another
|
|
one is put chemicals in the yard unfortunately I will not recommend I mean I could recommend
|
|
that but the problem is is that you might kill like other good insects that may attack
|
|
ticks or you know like do wonderful things with our planet such as bees and you know with
|
|
the hive collapse syndrome thing that's been happening there's not a lot of bees as there
|
|
used to be so whether that's due to pesticides or not we're not sure so it's best not to
|
|
put chemicals in your yard but that is a last-ditch effort of course then again that's kind
|
|
of hypocritical with my hand because I'm thinking about burning my yard just pouring gasoline
|
|
sand in a blaze that would definitely kill everything in there but animals will probably burn
|
|
my house down but it's just kind of you know hypocritical exaggeration anyway I guess in short
|
|
what I'm saying is fuck ticks protect yourself protect your yard otherwise we might all have to
|
|
suffer through whatever diseases they carry we shall not let the ticks win we shall fight back we
|
|
