Hey folks, there's a new tick in town, the Bush Tick, aka the Asian Tick, aka the Longhorned Tick is in New Jersey, and recently is thought to be in West VA. It can carry some bad diseases, though luckily they are much more treatable than Lyme.

Of course, since it is a tick, it can carry Lyme or RM Spotted Fever if it's host has these bugs.

I'm going to give Sawyers permethrin bug spray this year. The spot where I hunt is swarming with ticks!

Ticks are the only creatures - other than homo sapiens - that I've never found a reason for them to exist.
