It’s bad enough that they can’t drive or move the hell outa the wat, now they are bringing in more than relatives. Such a shame, our Hunterdon and some other counties are so beautiful, just getting to painful to live here with all of the NYC libs pouring in

Got a nasty tick bite right across the Delaware from NJ a couple weeks ago. Had to go to Urgent Care for antibiotics.

If you worry about this and other creepy crawlies in your home get some CEDARCIDE

It works great and is the ONLY thing that gets rid of bedbugs

“Poly-ticks”. They are all blood sucking creatures.

Gee, from the headline, I thought they were referring to New Jersey’s “citizens!”

Lyme disease is already the epidemic the cdc refuses to acknowledge or put any substantial amt. of money into research. It’s already affecting more than AIDS and breast cancer. There will be a rally in front of the Atlanta cdc on Mayr 4th from 9-5. Any help w ould be greatly appreciated.

“...a good spray to kill them...”

Actually we have some, but they kill lots of other things, too.

We need a good, safe spray to kill them.

How the ticks made it to New Jersey in the first place is still a mystery.

I read a recent article stating that the hordes of incoming illegals included Chinese nationals. It didn't elaborate further. My guess: infested Chi-coms brought it into the illegal border traffic stream and either directly or indirectly ushered the tick in. I wonder if the farm had a roofing job done recently or used cheap labor to harvest a crop.

Been there done that, it's time for the DCD to start taking tick borne diseases seriously and developing a useful spray to kill them.

It is truly an ignored scourge. Most insurance companies won’t recognize that chronic lyme is even a thing. My cousin has it - ugly stuff. There’s a great documentary from several years ago called Under Our Skin (used to be on Netflix but can be found on youtube) that chronicles how utterly devastating it can be.

"A tiny parasite could become a big problem this year in New Jersey."

Actually, I think the big parasites in their legislature are the real problem.
