On today’s roundtable from the Radio Ranch, we open with weather weirdness—from Midwestern-style tornado watches creeping into the Northeast to memories of hurricanes, high winds on Whiteface Mountain, and a lively detour on why some places (hello, Uruguay) seem spared from natural disasters. From there, the conversation turns practical: backyard chickens versus Lone Star ticks, garden nematodes and marigolds, and a wallet-friendly sulfur-and-sock trick for chiggers and ticks. Health took center stage as callers debated ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, chlorine dioxide/MMS, colloidal silver, fenbendazole, and the importance of “tools in the kit”—alongside cautions about overuse and potential toxicities. We also touched on nicotine and receptors, pet care costs and tele‑vet options, AI creeping into insurance decisions, and a few travel tales from Ecuador—including Quito’s old and new airports. As always, we wrapped with community updates, resources, and an open invite to dig deeper into documents and archives at our site.'Global Voice Radio Network (Live Stream)': https://radio.globalvoiceradio.net'Euro Folk Radio': https://eurofolkradio.com'Radio Soapbox': https://radiosoapbox.com'Paul English Live': https://paulenglishlive.com'The Matrix Docs (exhibits, archives, resources)': https://thematrixdocs.com'Tucker Carlson (official site)': https://www.tuckercarlson.com'Piers Morgan (official site)': https://www.piersmorgan.com'Whiteface Mountain (Adirondacks)': https://www.whiteface.com'Ozempic (semaglutide) – official site': https://www.ozempic.com
