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.
The opossum diet ranges from grass to meat. Opossums are opportunistic omnivores that obtain most food through scavenging. They actively forage or grass, berries, nuts and seeds. Opossums eat meat and scavenge roadkill or the remains of other predators' kills. They also hunt if a particular prey is easy to catch.
