CDC: Blood-sucking bug confirmed in Delaware

In September, the Centers for Disease Control foreshadowed the deadly bloodsucker’s arrival here. The government agency warned that it was making its way north from Central and South America and had been reported in states such as Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
