WERE TICKS USED IN BIOWARFARE EXPERIMENTS?

Did the Pentagon weaponize ticks?CQ on Congress

    • News & Politics
The House passed a bill this month that would order the Pentagon's inspector general to investigate whether the Defense Department weaponized ticks. Stanford University science writer Kris Newby, in a new book called "Bitten," hints that such experiments may have led to Lyme disease's rapid spread. Newby says that congressional inquiry into the matter "is exactly what I wanted to happen.'' And CQ Roll Call defense writer John Donnelly explains what Congress has asked the Pentagon to do and why many experts doubt it caused the public health crisis.
