lquad.... rat lungworm increasing? how you see this?
"...The new 3 cases (last week) bring the statewide total to five confirmed in 2019 and 10 in 2018,..."
fyi, in Hilo over 90% of rats tested (600+ rats) have the worm, yet of the 200K people + tourists, we have these micro numbers above 5 cases in 6 months...
its rare, its overrated, its NOT that deadly AT ALL, and mainly stupid people get it, unattended kids eating slugs, dirty watercatchments, lower Puna jungle dweller woofers/lemmings w/69IQ who dont use clean water to wash veggies, or copper bands on tables, slugo, cats etc. or just plain eat the slug on purpose.

as far as the non native mint family plant goes... its a known invasive plant, and we already have over 20,000 introduced problems here... try saving a critically endangered (understatement) native mint... the rarest family in the World.... the Haplostachys of Hawaii
Haplostachys haplostachya, honohono ...of the 5 Haplostachys known to science over last 240 yrs, 4 are gone forever, extinct!.. this one is barely hanging on, it ONLY lives up on the saddle of the Big Island... critically endangered! (you can see it outplanted on PuuHuluhulu)
the military is credited for keeping it from going extinct.. the Pohakuloa Training Center has the largest pop of these plants in World...

save our indigenous and endemic Hawaiian Plants... learn about them, grow them, and plant them on your property, ....instead of all that invasive non-native garbage I see in most yards... aloha
