About this episode

Chris and Ed discuss the dangers of ticks, including their potential to spread diseases and their involvement in bioweapons conspiracies.

Chris and Ed burrow deep into one of summer’s nastiest threats: ticks. These tiny, bloodsucking nightmares can glue themselves to your skin, spread Lyme disease, trigger a life-changing meat allergy...and have even dragged some people into a Cold War bioweapons conspiracy.
