Did you cover the possible infestation of blankets with 'bed bugs' or mites?

Again, I don't know the details involved with such claims but that is one of the claims that is usually thrown around to suggest some form of contamination was present.
Also, I don't know what the supposed effects of encountering new parasites are. Can bed bugs even produce a reaction as severe as the one attributed to smallpox?
That'll be a first. Catching smallpox from bed bugs! Talk about making the narrative fit at all costs 😂 New parasites?! I would recommend studying the Bailey's backlog of work.
'smallpox' is a symptom. I think Tsubion is saying that maybe the blankets were infested with a new (to the natives) biting insect, and the natives got bitten all over with welts (and maybe massive inflammatory reactions to the bites) and this was called 'smallpox.' Not necessarily that that the bugs 'transmitted' 'smallpox' 'virus.' I think it's a good hypothesis. Biting insect parasites are real, but 'viruses' are not.

I'm sure that bed bugs are found everywhere.
New hypothesis:
AZTECS WIPED OUT DUE TO NOT CHANGING BED SHEETS FREQUENTLY.
Fleas too
Not sure that bedbug bites are inflamed due to "infection with parasites".
