SUMMARY:Crazy Science – Fact or Fear
DESCRIPTION:Crazy Science – Fact or Fear \n\nIs it fact—or just fear? \n\nThis week’s Crazy Science is all about busting bug myths. From earwigs crawling into ears to whether daddy longlegs are actually dangerous\, we’ll separate truth from tall tales. \n\n💡 Fun Fact: Daddy longlegs is a common name used for many different arthropods\, such as crane flies\, cellar spiders\, and harvestmen. All of which share one common trait\, very long spindly legs! \n\n📅 October 1st–4th\, 2025 \n⏰ 11 AM \n📍 Disease Vector Education Center – St. Augustine\, FL \n\nJoin us as we uncover the real science behind the creepy-crawly stories you’ve heard!
