minus-square@greedytacothieflink40•1 year agoTicks. They seem to just make everything worse, and I don’t think anything only eats ticks. Not to mention the diseases they carry.
minus-square@lyam23link10•1 year agoPossums eat ticks. It’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make, ticks are awful.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish24•edit-21 year agoPossums don’t live exclusively on ticks, they don’t even particularly have a penchant for eating ticks. There was just one study that showed they could eat ticks and potentially have a resistance to some diseases. Edit: sauce - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34298355/
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink7•1 year agoPossums sure can eat some other bug/arachnoid don’t need those vermin.
minus-square@RampantParanoia2365link1•1 year agoDo they make everything worse in ways other than disease?
minus-square@greedytacothieflink1•1 year agoI don’t think they have much effect on the flora of an area, but humans are not the only fauna that are harmed by ticks. Also they get in my dreams and I usually have at least one tick related nightmare a year, so please do understand I speak with some hyperbole.
