Why Bedbugs, Ticks, and Mosquitoes Are Spreading Fast | SLICE EARTH | FULL DOC

Bedbugs, ticks, and tiger mosquitoes are spreading through the modern human world. As travel, warmer conditions, insulated homes, expanding cities, and insecticide resistance reshape their habitats, old parasites are finding new ways back into our beds, skin, homes, and streets. From bedbug infestations in southern France to tick surveys in European forests and the urban spread of tiger mosquitoes, scientists are tracking how these small organisms move, adapt, reproduce, and resist control. This documentary follows entomologists, doctors, epidemiologists, and field researchers as they investigate why parasites once thought to be under control are returning and why managing them may depend less on eradication than on understanding how we now live with them.
