The Daly City Building Department red-tagged both buildings, and Pacific Gas and Electric crews were on hand to shut off utilities to the homes.

Justin Timberlake speaks of 'debilitating' illness amid big spike in tick bites

As Americans head outdoors to enjoy the warm weather, more and more are being sickened by ticks, tiny creatures that can transmit a number of serious diseases. Justin Timberlake announced on July 31, that he is one of the estimated 476,000 people that are diagnosed with and treated for Lyme disease each year, an illness often transmitted through tick bites that Timberlake called "relentlessly debilitating." Meanwhile, emergency room visits related to tick bites have spiked in 2025, reaching their highest level in five years, according to the CDC's Tick Bite Data Tracker. The CDC reported by July 6 that the number of emergency department visits for tick bites had already exceeded nearly 10 years of July records, with 92 visits per 100,000 reported across the nation. Children ages 0 to 9 and people over the age of 70 were the most common of these ER visitors. Why is this tick season so bad? Climate change is one of the main factors impacting tick populations, according to experts at the Binghamton University Tick-borne Disease Center. 'Ticks can now move further north than they could before and establish populations,' Mandy Roome, associate director of the center, has said. 'Going back maybe 15 or 20 years ago, there wasn't much of an issue. Ticks were still around, people still got tick-borne diseases, but it wasn't quite the problem that it is now. We're also having really mild winters. Deer ticks are active anytime it's over 39 degrees, so we have a lot longer active periods for ticks now, unfortunately.' Roome said land use can also affect the tick population. She said construction activity can create new habitats for animals like mice, which can pass on pathogens to ticks. What is Lyme disease? Justin Timberlake shares 'debilitating' diagnosis 'The deer, the mice—when their ranges and numbers increase, we absolutely are going to see an expansion of ticks," Cassandra Pierre, an assistant professor of infectious diseases at the Boston University's Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine has said. "And longer warmer weather also allows for there to be more exposure to ticks, because people are out more." Why are tick bites dangerous? Ticks can carry several diseases capable of infecting humans and animals. People typically get Lyme disease, for example, when they are bitten by a tick carrying borrelia bacteria, according to the Mayo Clinic. Humans can also contract a variety of other pathogens from ticks, according to the CDC, including: Anaplasmosis Babesiosis Bourbon virus Colorado tick fever Ehrlichiosis Hard tick relapsing fever Heartland virus Lyme disease Powassan virus Rickettsia parkeri rickettsiosis Rocky Mountain spotted fever Soft tick relapsing fever STARI Tularemia 364D rickettsiosis How to prevent tick bites If you expect to be in an area where ticks live, such a park, backyard or campsite, be extra careful when venturing outside. Ticks can be a year-round annoyance, but they are most active in the warmer months of April through September. Where are ticks found?

Chargers Linebacker Denzel Perryman Facing Weapons Charges

Chargers linebacker Denzel Perryman is facing felony weapons charges after a traffic stop in Los Angeles on Friday night. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department confirmed to The Athletic that Perryman remained in jail Saturday morning. Perryman, 32, is entering the second season of his second stint (also 2015-20) with the Chargers. The Chargers issued a statement that they are 'aware of a matter involving Denzel and are gathering information.' Perryman's agent, Ron Butler, also released a statement. 'We are aware of the recent reports regarding Denzel Perryman's arrest in Los Angeles,' the statement read. 'At this time, we are still gathering facts and will fully cooperate with the process. Denzel is a respected veteran in the NFL and a dedicated father, teammate, and professional. While we do not take this situation lightly, we remain confident that the matter will be resolved fairly and in accordance with the law. Out of respect for the process and all parties involved, we will have no further comment at this time.' Perryman registered 55 tackles and one sack in 11 starts for the Chargers in 2024, missing six games with a groin injury. A second-round draft pick by the then-San Diego Chargers in 2015, Perryman has posted 717 tackles, 7.5 sacks, five interceptions and three fumble recoveries in 119 games (99 starts) with the Chargers, Las Vegas Raiders (2021-22) and Houston Texans (2023). He made the Pro Bowl in 2021 with a career-high 154 tackles for the Raiders. Perryman signed a one-year, $2.655 million contract with the Chargers for the 2025 season and was projected to be a starter. According to public records, Perryman was arrested at 9:41 p.m. local time Friday night and booked at 10:06 p.m. He is due to appear at Inglewood Municipal Court on Tuesday, ESPN reported. ―Field Level Media
