Do I need a tin foil hat for this one?

WTF, Canada. Next thing you know those Canucks will be taking credit for all the CWD(cronic wasting disease) in deer.

Eat garlic during tick season. I've been doing this for 15 years. They still get on me and crawl around but they don't dig in.
 
Not a new idea though. The USA (operation big buss ordered by FDR), nazis, imperial japan bio weapons people made plans to use mosquitoes & fleas to spread diseases, yellow fever for example.
Interesting.
 
Sorry, I couldn't get past "tick boxes." That just <ahem> tickled me for some reason.

If my dog has a pill that kills ticks on dogs for three months at a time, why doesn't it work on people?
 
I treat my lawn with an Ortho product in pelletized form which is applied with my tow-behind fertilizer spreader. Only found one tick on the dog so far. Also put a flea/tick collar on her for a little added insurance.
I keep my lawn trimmed to 3” to try to keep the critters at bay.
One of my dogs had Lyme disease years ago and it would cripple him up pretty badly. The vet prescribed pills which had him back in form within a couple days. I’ve read some people’s lives have been devastated by the disease. I’m surprised I was never afflicted as I used to do a lot or pre-season scouting and tick bites are just a part of the game. I was always more worried about the timber rattlers which thrive in my favorite bow hunting spots.
 
Meh…I doubt it. While I don’t doubt the evil of Bill Gates I don’t see how this could be counted on to work and I think it would suck as a dispersal method.

You’re throwing this crap out into a 110 mph slipstream and hoping it works. And it’s likely a lot of people would talk or refuse to be in such a harebraned scheme. Crop dusters work because they deal with uniform chemicals that are easy to dispense and still have to be pretty close to the surface.

You’re also hiring pilots to essentially commit an act of bioterrorism against their own country. Which if found out not only ends their career but brands them as terrorist. While there certainly are drug running pilots, this is different and could hit THEM too. It’s like spraying anthrax. So the money thing wouldn’t enter into the equation. You’d have to find a genuine psycho pilot. Most wouldn’t do it at any price.

Moreover why not just disburse them on the ground ? Be a lot easier and less questions.

ai answers:

Oral tick medications are generally safe, but they belong to a class of drugs called isoxazolines, which have been associated with neurological side effects (like muscle tremors or seizures) in dogs with a history of neurological issues.

Isoxazolines are not currently approved or prescribed for human consumption. While they are highly effective as oral and topical flea and tick medications for pets (e.g., Bravecto, NexGard), their safety in humans is not fully established, and they are undergoing clinical trials to determine their suitability for widespread human use.
 
IDK, but even if there was one that worked on people...I wouldn't take it.

I won't even give my dogs those pills.
As I stated before, garlic works great on humans. But garlic is toxic to dogs so there has to be a different solution. Ticks rarely bothered my Aussie, I never understood why. Maybe her body chemistry was offensive to them.
 
just a quick question is it possible for the Canadian government to no idea about this if it happens to be true ?
 
Eating lots of garlic when you are young helps ensure that you will never have kids as the girls will avoid you like a plague.

Bill Gates may be evil, but I still use his computer operating system. I have yet to see a tick crawl out of my laptop.

Not true. It just means your kids will be half Italian.
 
FWIW tick bites can do some nasty things outside of this. Have 2 friends who’ve had really bad experiences; one being permanently disabled by encephalitis in the aftermath.

It IS preventable if caught early with prophylactic antibiotics so if one does get bit and gets the bullseye quick medical care can help prevent a bad situation.
