Chad VossenHOST
Sorry.
Chad VossenHOST
There was no injury with him like there was with Ike when he had Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever or whatever the fuck he caught.
Chad VossenHOST
I don't know.
Chad VossenHOST
He had some disease or some shit that he came back
speaker_0HOST
disease and parasitic load are secondary mortality factors.
speaker_0HOST
Capybaras carry a range of internal and external parasites, including ticks that, in regions of South America, are vectors for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
speaker_0HOST
And while healthy adults generally tolerate this burden with some resilience, parasitic pressure is a persistent drain on individual condition.
speaker_0HOST
Old age, in the classic sense of age-related organ failure, rarely gets the chance to be the cause of a capybara's death in the wild.
Kelly PokrifkaGUEST
And I didn't figure out this aspect until much, much later, probably like six months later.
Kelly PokrifkaGUEST
But I got a tick bite from that hike, and I got Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
Kelly PokrifkaGUEST
And then the next day, one of my friends was doing a ballet recital for her work there.
Kelly PokrifkaGUEST
And she was so talented.
Evan FollinHOST
That's, you know, I think...
Evan FollinHOST
This is important, right, for people to understand.
Evan FollinHOST
You got the tick bite was because of Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
Evan FollinHOST
You go to this performance.
Anne DesjardinsGUEST
So I think something people don't quite understand is that ticks transmit more than just Lyme.
Anne DesjardinsGUEST
They have other infections like Bartonella, Babesia, Ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
Anne DesjardinsGUEST
A new one that's been making head waves over here is Alpha-gal syndrome, which gives you an allergy to red meat or mammal products.
Anne DesjardinsGUEST
And there's also a variety of others like Powossan virus.
Steve JohnsonHOST
COVID.
Steve JohnsonHOST
Yeah, that was a fairly recent rule they came up with during the China flu academic, but it never bothered people when we had MERS, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, West Niles Virus, Zika, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
Kenny WebsterHOST
Yeah.
Kenny WebsterHOST
No, those are fine.
Andrew ArabitoGUEST
We had locals that worked on our little base, you know.
Andrew ArabitoGUEST
We had some of the local police guys we allowed for a minute, and then one guy was talking behind our back about like shooting us if we go into any of the rooms that have females in them and shit, so we, we were like, "Fuck that." We, we have like the RMSF guys and our interpreters are working with the police too, you know, and like sent that guy away, and then it was like too sketchy, so we didn't allow the, the, those guys on the base, but we allowed the Hazaras to help cook for us.
Andrew ArabitoGUEST
We'd send them out to go get turkeys and food from town.
Andrew ArabitoGUEST
They'd cook there, and we would have our food and fuel dropped on the backside of where we have a little mountainside, our compound.
