    Ticks & Chiggers--a study

    I think the ticks down here have been rare from the decimated deer population in Eastern Cumberland County.West of the Cohansey the population is fine but over here deer are few and far between now.Nice to be able to ride to and from work at midnight without having to worry about them totaling...

    A tick bite devastated a N.J. man’s life. Why are cases soaring?

    just pulled them straight out.Often ripped their heads off in me and had to get that with tweezers.If you get heads in you you cant get out black drawing salve with a band aid on top of it and the head will fall out by next day

    Kobbs New Jersey Coast and Pines

    I didn't know they were involved in lawsuits. A lot of their books are previews and not free downloads.All the ones I"ve gotten are pretty old and most certainly their copyrights have ran out.
