Not true.  Alabama still has no known cases of any disease or parasite that
are resistant to currently approved methods of treatment.  The only pest
that was able to penetrate our closed boarders was the SHB which came from
truck stops inside the state.  Swarms do indeed cross state lines but their
progress is somewhat slower than trucks.
