The problem with fighting an unknown enemy is that you can see bogies under the bed when there are none. This is a relatively new experience in the US. We're more used to it in Europe.

One time a forest fire was blamed on a grasshopper or something like that which supposedly jumped up and hit an electrical cable and falling down setting the grass on fire
