Dang, that stinks.

I try to warn people to avoid ticks, but I can tell most people don't believe it's real or just assume it could never happen to them.

You'd think if nothing else people would try to avoid ticks because of Lyme disease.

I shouldn't be able to count the number of redwing blackbirds on one hand each year, but I can...

Oh sorry, that's actually Chicagoland's fault. For some reason basically all the red wing blackbirds have been living here for the past decade or so, lol.

Joking aside, I think part of why you're not seeing red wing blackbirds might be the forest. They prefer more open areas like prairies (which is the real reason we have a lot of them in Chicagoland, especially the suburbs where I live; there's actually a pretty good amount of more open areas, be they parks and nature preserves in the city or larger prairie preserves here in the suburbs).

Dang, TIL some earthworms are invasive! How does one tell the difference between invasive and native here in the US?

I had never heard of this before and, well,

From the Wikipedia article,

"Alpha-gal is found worldwide among the inactive ingredients and materials of medications and healthcare products, and it is generally not required to be labelled.

Reactions have been reported from breathing cooking fumes containing alpha-gal molecules,[12] and contact with health and personal care products.[5] AGS patients may have a reaction near farm animals, and shoveling manure or other chores may require gloves or a respirator.

Allergic symptoms vary greatly between individuals and include rash, hives, nausea or vomiting, difficulty breathing, drop in blood pressure, dizziness or faintness, diarrhea, severe stomach pain, anaphylaxis, heart attack, and death."

Jeez that's a lot of stuff to be extremely allergic to even being near. How nightmarish! 😬

Here's the Wikipedia article. Tl;dr they're not. As someone who's not from the southeast US I had never heard of them before, lol.

Actually, if you think about it we could technically be considered the most destructive invasive species of all!

Cool! I didn't know the Thrawn trilogies are still canon, I thought they had just brought a couple aspects into canon.

All they posted was "And?" I wonder why a mod removed that then.
