Anti-parasitic strategies and tactics are used to evade, kill, or recover from contact with parasites (lifeforms that use a type of ecological relationship where one lifeform benefits from the relationship at the expense of the other lifeform).
1. prevention = evade and avoid the parasite
○ starlings: line nest with greens to kill fungi
○ sticklebacks: shoal to reduce exposure to ectoparasites
○ cricket: groom after exposure to parasitoid larvae
○ cattle: avoid areas littered with feces that may contain worm larvae
○ capuchin: rub millipede secretions into fur to repel insects
○ wood ants: add conifer resin to nest to repel bacteria and fungi
○ birds: sleep at higher elevations to avoid malaria mosquito
○ birds: spend day downslope w/ fewer malaria mosquitoes

Blacktastic strategies. Here I derive strategies like repatriation, divestment from enemy institutions, Afrikan dressing, Afrikan languages n.k. they all help evade and avoid the enemy-
@karuga, yes, I like the way you’re thinking! It’s interesting to look at our current anti-yurugu strategies and determine which are preventative, how they are preventative and what kind of yurugu contact they protect us from!
