Invasive Tick Species Found in Maryland


T e Maryland Department of Agriculture


confi rmed the presence of Haemaphysalis lon- gicornis, more commonly known as the East Asian Tick, Longhorned Tick or Bush Tick, in Maryland. MDA urges Marylanders to take necessary precautions to protect livestock, pets and family members from this invasive spe- cies. “T is species of ticks are known to cling to hosts in high numbers,” said MDA State Vet- erinarian Dr. Michael Radebaugh. “If too many of these ticks attach themselves to an animal, it could cause stunted growth, decreased produc- tion, major blood loss, and has the potential to spread diseases.” T ese ticks are known to carry several diseases in their natural habitats.

Pocantico Lucille Harrigan’s Century Ride to ride.


Hills, NY. T ey were not of my mother or father, but of Joe Plick, the riding master at the Rockefeller estate where many of my family worked. I remem- ber the smell of the im- peccably kempt stable, the clip-clop of the hooves in the yellow brick aisle and the thrill of a fi ve-year- old kid being put aboard a huge gleaming black horse.
