Hmmm, what else has been arriving from Central and South America of late? Never mind, that would be racist.

Lots of weird diseases showing up. Talked to an old fella last week that got bit by a tick here in Illinois last November and it gave him some disease that makes you hyper allergic to beef. He said it is rare and it took the doctors a long time to find out what was his problem. Landed him in the hospital several times before they ran the test to detect it. The tick has a white spot on its back. He can't eat any beef or even be in a room where beef is cooking without his throat closing shut and he breaks out in hives and a red rash. Now he has to carry an Epi pen and benadryl at all times and has to go for a steroid shot if it gets severe.

I'm in Ohio. My 4 sons love to catch, identify, and catalog insects. Joys of homeschooling! Anyway, the have 3 specimens of these bugs, caught this summer. Guess this isn't just a southern thing.

Also, if my chickens eat the bugs can they be infected? Are their eggs or meat affected? Has anyone looked into this?
