...residents of low-lying coastal areas are anxious this summer, they have a dozen reasons--and more are undoubtedly on the way. The hurricane season has not yet peaked, but menacing storms are already rumbling across the Atlantic Ocean one after another, like warplanes taking off from a carrier deck. Last week alone, four ominously swirling air masses zigzagged across satellite weather maps, packed so close together that it almost seemed they might merge to form a single monster storm.

Now the minuscule pest is causing even greater alarm. Scientists say deer ticks harbor yet another pathogen, which, unlike the one responsible for Lyme disease, can-in rare cases-actually kill a person in a matter of days...
