Tickistan

Also known as Maine. Starting in 2022, and in large part thanks to a warming planet, Maine has become the perfect habitat for disease carrying tics. Hence its new moniker “Tickistan.”

“Hey Betsy! Any summer plans?”
“Ugh, just got back from Tickistan, aka Maine. Gotta beat this case of facial palsy before I plan anything else”
“Wow, so sorry”
