Lyme Disease & the Plum Island Animal Center

Why is it bug-related episodes that make us feel the itchiest? This week, Alex tackles the weird conspiracy theory involving ticks, Lyme disease, and the Plum Island Animal Centre. Did the centre really create Lyme disease infested ticks? What is Lyme disease? How many science related words can Alex mess up? Tune in to hear more. Need a distraction? I got you.
