Suffolk County Reports Three Probable Tularemia Cases, Highlighting Tick Risk

Three probable tularemia cases (rabbit fever), a rare tick- and wildlife-borne illness, have been reported in Suffolk County on Long Island. Lab confirmation can take weeks, and diagnosis combines tests with clinical/epidemiologic criteria. The cases come during a notably bad tick season; prevention tips include wearing protective clothing and avoiding sick or dead wildlife, with antibiotics effectively treating the infection. Nationwide, about 200 tularemia cases occur each year, and NYS has not confirmed any cases in 2026 so far.

"Prosecutor Criticizes NY Governor's Crime Policy After Release of Body Parts Suspects"

Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney criticized New York Governor Kathy Hochul's bail reform laws after four suspects charged with dismembering bodies were freed, stating that the system prevented arguing dangerousness as a factor in bail applications. Tierney slammed Hochul's crime policy as "laughably inadequate" and defended the charges filed against the suspects. Hochul, in response, criticized Tierney and Suffolk County police, suggesting they should have brought more severe charges. Tierney called for "common sense" fixes to the state's bail system and urged the governor to confine her comments to subjects she knows about.
