Available resources…that’s the term you lack…
Ticks don’t care about the Tragedy of the Commons (livestock grazing one area with multiple owners not responsible for the land means they eat everything).
Tick population will level off once the resource (blood) is maxed out.
- strangesmells06 3y agoSo according to my original comment observation, there are limitations on this tick growth which the article leaves out in favor of fear based journalism. Because they leave out important info it makes it hard to judge appropriate response which makes it clear clickbait to be ignored.
