Thank you! Yes, me too, nightmares. Really rather disgusting, isn't it? And yet, we have to know. What seemed to come through from researchers was the importance of getting this information out. People, including me, traditionally regard ants more benignly than those other carriers of disease. It's a dangerous misconception.
You can tell I was very influenced by my research. Glad you can see the depth of it. I thought, if this is to be credible, it has to be properly grounded.
I didn't know what kind of response such unpleasant information would receive, but I pressed on anyway. So glad one of my favorite people appreciated my work.
Love from balmy New York....I hope the sun shines soon in Portugal. 🌄
