Just what we need, more blood sucking parasites. As if Trenton doesn’t have enough already.
That can't be because immgration makes us stronger. I read it in all the papers. The ticks probably came in on the back of a Russian spy who stopped in NJ to visit Trump at one of his golf courses there and plan the takeover of the USA.
Yeah, we have stink bugs too!
We’ve had those Down South forever..................
I know, well infest the Asian carp with a modified GMO water borne version of the tick. Then Ill take my meds.
Daaaya-ya-ya-ya-ya! as Spongebob would say. Between immigration and diversity, we ought to be considered the First Galactic Empire. Who could stand in our self-righteous, politically-correct, virtuous way?!!
Guineas. Guinea hens love ticks.
This same species swas fund on a horse in NJ in the 1960s, what’s new is finding the tick in all three life stages.
Nope I was born in and lived for 34 years in Fairfield county, Connecticut.
Check mate?
Lived on Mine St in Flemington 2001-2010 :)
Oh my you really got me there, so you lived in Fairfield for 34 years big deal. Does that give you the right to make disparaging and ignorant remarks about where other people live ?
It’s time to wipe out the deer herds in populated areas...
Some people have been scared away from bug repellent; any risk is worth avoiding Lyme Disease. Apply it generously, and just make sure to shower within a reasonable time. I’ve never had issues with ticks when using “Deep Woods Off”, and have had plenty of problem without it.
I went to the doctor after having a horrible fever, and insisted they check for Lyme Disease (I hike in northern NJ/southern NY state, and have dealt with many ticks). Some dopey assistant prescribed Tamiflu while I waited for the results, so after wasting the money on that they called a couple of days later and confirmed it was Lyme Disease. Never got the rash, but was fairly certain it could only be that (or another tick-borne illness).
Thankfully treatment was prompt and seemed to work just fine; a friend who was misdiagnosed years ago lives with the chronic condition - and that made me really stick to the antibiotic regimen.
“Does that give you the right to make disparaging and ignorant remarks about where other people live ?”
Yup. Because I espouse such insults upon those in Fairfield county too.
Nothing but New Englander leftists. Even the ones who claim to be firmly on the right are the “.. But...” conservatives.
There is no such thing as a conservative in these states. No such thing.
