I am the ultimate prophet who will judge if a case has happened or not
Cicada will count for the Swarm of Locust, since Locust is not native to USA
Additional Fire beyond lightning is not mandatory for the Storm to count, but would be a nice touch
The translation isn't clear if the infestation is FLIES or WILD ANIMALS so I'll have to make a judgement call. Any animal involved in another answer like FROG will not count. Animals already found in NYC like cockroaches, rats or pigeons will not count unless there is an unusually high amount that is reported on.
Days of darkness - does not have to be complete darkness, the wildfire smog would have counted. A blackout for three full days would also count, if it is the majority of the city.
Firstborns - it does not have to be all firstborns in the city, just a noticeable amount of firstborns. Daughters will also count, and the event will still count if it impacts other children, as long as it impacts firstborns primarily
I'll also count bedbugs toward Lice
There are theories that the 'blood' in the water was the Red Tide algae bloom, so I will count that

no to acne and herpes i think, would need to be a different skin condition
ty google for teaching me something today
Boils and herpes, while both skin conditions, are quite different. Boils start as red spots that turn into pus-filled abscesses due to bacterial infections of hair follicles. On the other hand, herpes sores begin as fluid-oozing blisters caused by a contagious virus.
At least the firstborn one didn't affect the Jews, they were passed over, hence the name of Passover.
Presumably lice, boils and livestock could also discriminate and not affect Jews?
@shankypanky @strutheo would these flying venomous spiders count as “ flies” ? Lice? Bedbugs? Frogs?
Pestilence of Livestock?
