Lyme Disease May Be Bioweapon From Military Island Off Connecticut Coast

What was said

"I think it was a bioweapon. Lyme disease? Yeah, could be. I think it was. I think it came from a military island off the coast of Connecticut, Limes, Connecticut. And all the ticks maybe got out, they escaped."

During a discussion about tick-borne illness, the hosts suggested Lyme disease originated as a bioweapon from a military facility on an island off Connecticut. While presented half-jokingly, the claim references long-standing conspiracy theories about Plum Island Animal Disease Center. The conversation arose after McCusker's brother contracted a tick bite and previously conquered Lyme disease through a 14-day fast.
