This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Huge methane emissions reduction thanks to a little tick

And we'd still have poultry and fish in the end.

Not the worst thing that a tick could be spreading at all.

Considering it usually coincides with Lyme disease, I'd say it's still pretty damn bad

This. Those who would purposely catch these to get a nation of vegetarians like some people have mentioned would be giving people Lyme disease and other nasties that come with being bitten by a tick. These aren't things to mess around with.
