    I hope for a vaccine that can kill these bastards, or at least the parasites inside them. Plus an expanded Wall of Flesh.

    Beef is love, beef is life.

        I assume you are talking about the Wall of Flesh. It is a project to release sterile screwflys into the neck of Panama, and have them outcompete viable mating partners. The screwfly eats the living flesh of livestock, pets, and people, and was one of the worst vermin in North America. Unfortunately, the Wall of Flesh has been weakening in the last decade or so.

      This isn’t caused by a parasite, its caused by the tick injecting alpha-gal that it picked up from other mammals in large enough amounts that it triggers the immune system to create antibodies for it. But yeah, I’d be fine with exterminating ticks.
