was 54% higher this year than the same time last year.
Thought this was interesting considering I live
very close to the RI border. Massachsetts never
comments on this. Atleast not that I have seen
so far.
I believe the weather is contributing to this as
we have had an exceptionally wet and cool two
months now. No heat to speak of really.

IOWA'S deep population is up as well!
our local deer task group posted their findings the other day here; twice as many as before.
they are allowing bow hunters to do this; but not that many have signed up.

I live on the Massachusetts/RI border as well and everyone I talk to has noticed an increase in the tick population.
My cousin found a deer tick imbedded in her dog. Several days later, she found one crawling across her arm, luckily it didn't have a chance to imbed itself.
Makes me laugh b/c all the docs tell me there are no deer ticks in our area....how the hell did I get Lyme then?
