[BCFSN] Battling Chicken Mites with Bags of Brimstone

[Pamela Zevit Adamah Consultants]

Always interesting to see how ecological science and agriculture converge!

"The northern fowl mite (Ornithonyssus sylviarum) plagues chickens, causing inflammation, anemia,
and basically making them itch like the devil. The mites are the most common ectoparasite found on
poultry. But researchers from the University of California, Riverside have come up with a
diabolically clever way to control the little bloodsuckers - bags of brimstone."
