The Asian “cow-killing tick poses a serious threat......” according to the USDA.

I hope Stacy Abrams got the memo...........

Ticks have really exploded over the years- we kids lived in the woods, and never got Lyme disease, or any of the other things you can get, but now you must check yourself whenever you work outside because Lyme disease, and several other diseases are no joke- th3y flatten even the most healthy person. The ticks are everywhere now. Stopped at a boat launch site to get a photo once, got out, stood on the grass for maybe a minute, got home, and found a tick on me- deer tick. Even gardening you can get them too- it’s getting pretty bad

Now there is a cow killer tick? Swell.

[[with the ability to form massive colonies in a short amount of time]]

Wouldn’t it be great if they could,be treated with something and bring it back to the colony where it spreads and kills off the colony? Would take awhile but that might put a good dent in the population.

And how did this tick make it to the U.S.? The Customs Service and the USDA are supposed to inspect livestock imports and articles made from animals. Obviously they are peopled by incompetents akin to those in Biden’s cabal of incompetents and perverts.

THANK YOU, CHINA, for yet another invasive species from China. I wonder how they were REALLY introduced here.

More nasty crapola from The East.

re> And how did this tick make it to the U.S.?

My guess is they were carried across by illegals across the open border.
