Why should you care about the bad acorn crop this season? Well, no acorns mean squirrels and other animals who eat acorns will be culled, meaning fewer squirrels. So what? So this: No squirrels means no hosts for ticks, who will need another animal to bite. Guess which animal they prefer if there aren't enough squirrels? Remember to check your exposed skin when you walk through the woods and parks. (New York Times)
