...as if we ain't got enough pests to worry about. here's one they found in VA, "migrated" from NJ! wtf? (guess even the lowly ticks can't stand the Libtards in NJ!  )
East ASIAN Tick, also answers to "longhorn tick" handle: Watch For a New Tick I got me a proposal for all these "Global Trade" folks--everyone of these pest the USA gets--the "Home Country" of their origin winds up paying for us their $$$ to eradicate 'em. I'm sure the Chinaman has plenty of our dollars. Tired I am of these damn invaders--now we got ILLEGAL BUGS! Tearing up my trees and forest! Already killed my ash trees and even my hemlocks stands off: 
"...Mr. Trump, R U listening?..." |

Damn. They were only found in NJ last summer. These fuckers are spreading faster than stink bugs.

Thanks for that link, Bubbles!
But this species of ticks is associated with several diseases that affect humans in the Eastern hemisphere, including the virus that causes Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (SFTS) in China and Rickettsia japonica, which causes Japanese spotted fever. If the professional bug people are stumped as to how these SOBs got here, methinks there's foul play here...

I'm just glad there are no ticks up here where I live and the places I go hiking.......yet....
Hope it stays that way. All the hundreds if not thousands of miles I have hiked and backpacked in the woods I have never seen one yet. Guess it's the cold in winter that keeps them at bay. All the lower counties around me have plenty for sure... 
Randolph, Pocahontas, and tucker, I have yet to ever see a tick. |
