On a trip a few years ago, photo friends got together for a contest to see who could get the most 'layers' in their image.

Highly intelligent behavior. I once observed a female Pileated Woodpecker systematically perforate birch bark in a linear fashion and then peel it away with her claw to find an insect dinner beneath. I believe humans consistently underestimate the applied intelligence of creatures.

Doesn't seem magats read valid scientific studies anyway, so RFK Jr. should simply recommend more is better to avoid confusing users. Perhaps bleach might act as a synergist. The CDC could look into that, but the staff just quit. Thanks for the data though, it will be useful for treating horses.
