Ah yes, because the recent explosion of tick population is surely because of our biodiversity and healthy ecosystems.

Do you know what the natural predators of ticks are? Do you know what sort of environments they like to sleep and rest and hunt? Do you know what the average American's response is to finding a burrow on their property? Or their cats' and dogs' response?

We truly haven't learned from medieval cityfolk killing cats because of the black death.
