Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Can I ask which general part of the country you're in?

I know the lone Star ticks prevalent in the East, but have heard that it's traveling Westward and is basically everywhere at this point.

We're not even in the US. We assume he got it from a trip to Mexico because he has never been to North America at all.

Oh, wow. I don't even think they're native to Mexico, but they easily could have spread there from Texas. Yikes.

Thanks
