I don’t know either but you usually get my attention to cool stuff.

What people need to understand is that everything has its place in nature.

Many years ago, the people of Connecticut decided the local rattlesnake population was “bad” and annihilated them.

Then the white footed mouse population exploded, as their #1 predator was now gone.

White footed mice are a necessary intermediate host for Borrelia burgdorferi.

Now Lyme CT is infamous and the once endemic disease is everywhere.

All because they killed those snakes.

When you wipe out something you hate or fear, often, something worse moves in.
