Just FYI, I got a lot of flak for mentioning this fact in opossum communities on social media sites. No one wants to believe that they aren’t these amazing tick-eating heroes.

I say they are still heroes and prevent a lot of disease and nastiness! They just don’t eat ticks.

If you’re on the US west coast, Western Fence Lizards are your Lyme disease fighting heroes.

Oh, no, that part actually means you need to have lizard ancestry. A common misconception.

That could still work. Depends on where you injected it.
