Due to globull warming no doubt.

"East Asian", huh?

Gotta wonder by what vector it came to New Jersey.

[Sirius Lee]

Well, don’t bring back DDT. Wouldn’t want to harm any of these endangered ticks.

[Catmom]

And who, perchance, do we have to thank for this latest infestation?

Bedbugs, Hep A, and now fleas and ticks.

she was “scared” by the number of ticks, mosquitos, and other blood-sucking creatures that are not dying out during the mild winters:

Cold winters don't kill them. Otherwise, they would be extinct.

bring ‘em out

Tick Tock!

Kayla Socarra, a researcher at Drexel's Center for Advanced Microbial Processing, told Fox 2 that she was “scared” by the number of ticks, mosquitos, and other blood-sucking creatures that are not dying out during the mild winters:

“These ticks and mosquitos are having a field day of sorts. [...] Bugs can move into new climates and new places where originally they would have never survived because of warmer temps and increased food supply for them they're surviving quite easily.”

Absolute unadulterated bull chit! If you want to see phenomenal numbers of ticks and mosquitoes there's no place like the Arctic Circle where the winters are long and the temps are well below zero.

My daughter was doing research on Babasia a few years ago at a large NYC Med School Hospital. Generally it only kills people with severe immune system suppression. They were losing transplant patients.

It was a cold winter!!

Tick diversity is our strength.

[Michael.SF.]

How can I get a jar of these ticks? I know a restaurant in Lexington that could use them.

However, because it took six days for her husband to get the correct diagnosis, he never recovered.

I wonder how they would have treated him differently had they known the infection was caused by a tick?

[chris37]

Ticks have always carried Babesia, and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is even worse ad kills even faster, and they also carry about 21 other blood borne diseases on top of these.

Oh and Glowbull Warming.

Notice all of the Tick locations with "mild" winters - Minnesota, Maine, Michigan-UP, North Dakota...

[curdogmen]

I have to admit...ticks and chiggers slows my varmint hunting way down in the summer time...I pull about 10 ticks off a week...that with all the doses of preventive treatment...live close to a recent tick find

[outofsalt]

A lot wrong with this report. The parasite is hosted by ticks in the Northeast and Midwest. https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/babesiosis/index.html

Easy guess: The tick is an illegal alien that hitched a ride on an illegal alien.
