WW1 for the aristocrats colonial Empires, WW2 for the plutocrats corporations and WW3 for the oligarchs fascist cults? And finally the end for the transhumanists Alien destruction of Earth. The wars for and by those against the people; the democratic rights of their diverse interests to secure and protect the hegemony of Hydra’s totalitarian world order and its programme of ecocide! #Parasites #Symbiosis #losers #Winners #Biosphere

Declining quality
In modern society, a bad culture has been formed that demands efficiency and cost reduction. "Just hurry up," "Get it out before them," and this pressure has led to a decline in quality.https://note.com/poison_raika/n/ne03b0a6ed5b5

Flea and tick treatments for dogs and cats may be harming wildlife
Roaming pets are ideal vectors for ticks, fleas and mites. Parasite treatments for pets contaminate the ecosystems.
"The findings suggest everyday pet treatments could ripple through ecosystems in surprising ways. After pets take these medications, the active compounds pass through their bodies and are excreted in feces."

L’être humain aime se penser comme l’aboutissement logique de l’évolution, mais son ADN raconte une histoire plus nuancée. Parmi ses singularités les plus étonnantes figure une incapacité partagée par très peu d’espèces : produire sa propre vitamine C. Cette faiblesse apparente pourrait être l’un des choix les plus intelligents de notre histoire évolutive.

#safely eradicate #parasites via #gene-drive
#medical : lice, scabies : #gene_drive
#lice (body, pubic, head) & #mites (' #scabies ') and #bedbugs have no #natural_predators , it would be fantastically amazing to have a #genedrive to #eradicate the sometimes-lethal insects. Last year, it was widely reported, one on the east coast had died -- was literally eaten alive by a parasite colony in jail. No treatment had been granted, despite repeat complaints. More recently, prisoners in #ice jails, families & children in #Gaza , and held in #Israeli #prisons have reported being deliberately #infected with scabies and lice, suffering horribly. Also #RX #treatment_resistance - much like #antibiotic_resistance w #superbugs - to conventional RX (#antiparasitics ) has skyrocketed: in late 1990s, efficacy was ~97% in USA. But a decade ago by 2016, dropped to ~35%. Today, the identical treatment is prescribed as 30 years ago. Finally, said #drugs = #neurotoxin #nerve_damage . A #genedrive could fix all of that. What is it? A gene edit which makes 100% of all offspring male: no females = inability to #reproduce and it perpetuates every generation so an edited male reproduces w nonedited female and all eggs become male, also carrying the gene-edit.... And eventually the colony depopulates entirely. A very fast & effective cure ..... versus.... a months-long hopeless battle dousing one's body in vinegar, daily, plus numerous other toxins & nerve damage. -

I wasn't that excited about this stock standard photo of a darkling beetle (Eleodes goryi), until I noticed the parasitic tachinid fly egg attached above the insect's midleg. This beetle is on borrowed time.

So yeah. Someone here asked me for advice on something that they suspected was Lyme Disease, but was blown off as "poison ivy" by a physician. After looking at photos of what I recognized as a Lyme circle and asking about specific symptoms, I suggested they consult another physician and get a test. It turns out that Lyme was an issue. When in doubt, don't mess around! Physicians today are encouraged for quantity not quality and might miss symptoms! Advocate for your own health!
#Tick risks vary by region. Here's where diseases have spread and how to stay safe
June 23, 2025
"There are early signs that it could be a bad year for tick bites. In May, the rate of people seeking emergency care for tick bites was the highest it's been since 2019, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"If you get a tick bite, you're not alone: They happen in every U.S. state, and some 31 million people get tick bites each year.
"Not every tick bite yields disease, since not every tick carries pathogens or bites long enough to transmit them. Still, most reported cases of vector-borne disease (including mosquitoes) come from ticks, which can carry pathogens with terrible consequences.
"Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the U.S., estimated to affect more than 470,000 people each year.
" 'But ticks can actually expose people in the U.S. to more than a dozen different disease-causing agents,' including #toxins, #allergens, #bacteria, #parasites and #viruses, says Alison Hinckley, an epidemiologist at the CDC's Division of Vector-Borne Diseases. 'The illnesses can range from mild to life-threatening,' Hinckley adds.
"Here are facts to know about these biting critters and tips to stay safe.
"Ticks are slow threats, so prompt action cuts your risk
"With ticks — unlike mosquitoes with their one-and-done sting — there are generally multiple opportunities to reduce your risks. That's because most kinds of ticks need to crawl onto your body, latch into the skin and, in many cases, feed for a while — from several hours to several days — before they get you sick."
