If mites can hitch a ride home with a person after a show, why can't they hitch a ride on a rodent? Seems entirely plausible, and still a rather significant number of people believe that rodents are a source for mites.

Does anyone think this extremely warm winter could have anything to do with it??? Where I live, I would normally never see ticks this time of year, but I have recently seen a few.

I do believe though that this recent rash of mite threads(I've noticed as well) is merely coincidental and the people who have them are starting threads.
