lovely- can’t go out in yards anymore with grass for fear of 5 or so diseases you can get from ticks- life altering, life damaging diseases- can’t be around swampy areas or anyplace with standing water because of mosquitoes- can’t camp in lean to’s anymore- because of hanta vitus (sp?) from mice that can kill you- and you also gotta worry now about mice in homes because of this deadly disease-

Criminy- when we were kids, we practically grew up in the woods- worked outside in various outdoor jobs- had mice all through the house- didn’t worry about mosquitoes- etc etc etc- now you take your life in your hands just being outdoors- (not that it will stop me- but it sure does give one pause)- Can’t imagine what folks who must work outdoors do nowadays- like loggers, carpenters, lawn maintenance folks etc- Some of the ticks that carry the diseases are so small you can’t even see them- seriously- can’t even feel them crawling- The bug spray companies must be making a fortune these days- back in the day noone used it- but now it’s almost to the point of a matter of life and death-

Why do I have a suspicion that the properties owned by the elites have no disease and are treated with DDT brought in on their private jets?
