will say that the tick population this spring here in Westchester NY is unreal right now. Having had lyme disease and passing out on the highway I can tell you it’s some scary stuff.
I find it strange that CDC publicizes this when it did not say a peep about all the third world diseases being imported into our country with the recent migrant explosions.
Any place where there are deer, you will find deer ticks.
In late spring of 2011, while visiting a friend in New Hampshire's garden, we walked through some high grass.
The following morning, getting ready for a shower, I noticed a small blood clot where the waist band was for my pajammas, and picked it off.
It wasn't a blood clot, because when I looked at it, it had moving legs; I continued disrobing and found 4 others on my legs.
Headed home the next day, I did some research online and contacted my primary care physician.
It turned out that my research gave me more medical information about ticks than my physician knew about ticks, and I insisted on a four week series of antibiotics.
But this occurred in 2011, and more medical research is now available to physicians and the general population regarding viri and bacteria carried by vectors.
