Pesticide exposure makes ticks more resistant to freezing cold
American researchers investigating the effect of pesticide exposure on ticks made a surprising discovery: rather than weakening the insects, pesticides increased their resistance to freezing temperatures. The finding suggests that widespread pesticide use may inadvertently improve tick survival in cold climates. The study raises new questions about the long-term effectiveness of chemical tick control.
