How does the ion ratio affect animal behavior?
Studies are limited in this area. Observations of racehorses show that some horses are better performers on positive days and others are better on negative days. Still others are best on neutral days. In this case it seems dependent on the individual animals. In other studies it was noted that bees are more likely to sting unprovoked on high positive ion days. One of the geological experts on earthquake prediction revealed to a stunned group of geophysicists that his excellent prediction accuracy was due to his method of tracking the Lost Pet section of the San Francisco newspaper and seeing how many cats went missing from day to day. When there were sudden increases in missing cats, an earthquake seemed inevitable, the more cats missing the larger the earthquake. It has since been discovered that prior to an earthquake radio signals are emitted from the ground due to the high ionization caused by the increase in pressure. This ionization is considered the most promising area of earthq
