EHD Hasn’t Peaked Yet Evidently
December 12, 2007
Even though portions of northern New England last night saw some frost and temps below freezing, cold weather has yet to reach areas that are infested with Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EDH), an insect-born virus that is deadly to whitetail deer. This year the outbreak of EHD was quite widespread. Common in many southern states, this year EHD has been detected in northern states like Ohio, Pennsylvania and now New York.
It has been confirmed that EHD was the cause of death for some deer found in Albany County. This is the first ever that EHD has been officially found in the Empire State.
Officials say that once the first freeze arrives it will kill off the tiny insects that carry the disease.

After a little internet searching, reading, and checking up on this stuff I found it’s a pretty well established product in Canada and hails from Quebec where they have this funny habit of speaking a lot of French. Thus the name, Jig-A-Loo, and the company’s claim it derives from a saying they have up north, “I’ve got it!”
