They’re out for blood.

Self-cloning super-ticks are sparking worry in some as the insects recently were linked with killing five cows by sucking their blood dry in North Carolina.

Asian longhorned ticks were first found in the U.S. in 2017. Earlier this year, an article published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases noted that the first man was bitten by one of the pests in New York State.

Yes, demonrats popping out offspring willy nilly to feed on everyone else.

The smarter humans will notice one tick before it turns into thousands and sucks the human dry.

A possum eats 5000 plus ticks/day. We’re currently in the market for one on our property as some jerk hits our resident a few months ago.

Yea, there’s a fresh one just down the road from me. Probably one who’s been helping to clean out my squirrel feeder, nightly.

Not likely possum food. But if so consider yourself fortunate to have one. Ours dogs have ticks for the first time since our possum was killed.

See your vet. They have something out now that will keep ‘em tick and flea free for 6 mos! Expensive, but I can vouch for its effectiveness.

I did a “Find on Page” search for “climate”, as in “Climate Change”, and another for “Global”, as in “Global Warming”, and got no results for either search. So, is the media getting a grip? Nahhhh.

...and these self-cloning pests now run the New York Senate.

Gosh, I wonder how they got here. It’s a mystery to me. Anyway, I’m off to WalMart to buy some cheap goods imported from Asia.
