Actually there have been very occasional cases, but they’re rare enough to make it into the paper. The fact that the snow is already almost melted here doesn’t bode well for the future :(
If they are talking about the Willamette Valley, there is a natural barrier preventing ticks from making it in ( cascade mountain range on all sides, Columbia River to the north )
Ticks will need to be introduced. It is bound to happen eventually but for now there are areas without ticks that latch onto humans.
Lol, I’m too far north for ticks.
Climate change: hold my beer

if they can go that “far south”, i’m sure they are already where you are.
