Opossums stop the spread of Lyme disease because they kill up to 4,000 ticks a week. Claims about possums and ticks are mostly true â but the amount of ticks one possum kills in a week has been skewed.
Creation: Opossums help combat Lyme disease. The opossum (Didelphimorphia) is the largest order of marsupials in the Western Hemisphere, including 103 or more species. Commonly called possums, the word âopossumâ is borrowed from the Virginia Algonquian (Powhatan) language and means âwhite dogâ or âwhite animalâ.
