A foreign and more dangerous species of ticks has been spreading, posing a grave risk to humans. Fox News reports:
A species of tick native to the Asia-Pacific region that potentially poses a disease threat to humans is now located in nine different states, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced this week.
The species — which is reportedly the first new tick species found in the U.S. in 50 years — is known formally as the Haemaphysalis longicornis, or the Asian long-horned tick. The species was first discovered in the U.S. in the state of New Jersey in August 2017, the CDC said in a news release Thursday.
But the critters have since spread. New Jersey, Arkansas, Connecticut, Maryland, North Carolina, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia have now “reported finding the tick on a variety of hosts, including people, wildlife, domestic animals, and in environmental samples,” the health agency said.
“In contrast to most tick species, a single female tick can reproduce offspring (1-2,000 eggs at a time) without mating. As a result, hundreds to thousands of ticks can be found on a single animal, person, or in the environment,” the CDC continued.
Be vigilant.
What diseases do they carry that makes them a threat?
This article has absolutely nothing to do with niggers Steve and had James READ the article he would have seen the names of NINE (9) states. He would also have seen the description and some characteristics of the pest. Some people just want to see their name in print and don’t stop to consider how STUPID what they wrote is! One pest that carries disease and can reproduce without a male counterpart is frightening.
Once they were identified they realized a tick found on a deer in West Virginia in 2010 and on a dog in New Jersey in 2013 were that species.
This gives no real information. Which states have them? What do they look like? How can I know if I or my pets has them? Are the big enough to see? Or do they hide below the surface so you’ll never know? What can you do about?
This article is as informative as saying “Hey watch out! There are bad things lurking in some areas of the world. Good luck avoiding them.”
It’s called NIGGERS and it ain’t new.
Who’s a clever boy then? When I see replies like that I remember why I agree with euthanasia, you complete idiot bag of stale air. You and every other leftie shit stirrer.
