According to a new theory, biting insects such as TICKS and mosquitoes transmitted infectious diseases to the dinosaurs which then contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs.
If a tick bite is capable of bring down a 50,000 pound dinosaur then what chance does little ole me have against a tick bite?

Thanks for posting that.
I had not heard of that theory previously.

I haven't read your links above, but would think their hide/skin would be way too tough.

I had not heard about this but discovery or some such program did a special recently about the die off of some indians and life from the north into Maryland and Virginia..
It was a second quick ice age after a major one. Something about things that had survived had not really recovered and were hit again and then with a 2? year dust storm..Wish I could remember more. Sorry.
