Lone Star Tick and Meat Allergies
This is a little concerning: https://www.wired.com/story/lone-sta...y-be-spreading

Hadn't heard of this before sounds like Doctors and researchers are trying to find the range of this threat.

Not uncommon here in the Ozarks. I've seen several patients with alpha-gal allergy

Big deal in VA and WV. Know several people that have it.

Stunned the beef and fast food industries are not diverting all funds for an immediate solution.

If I was allergic to meat, would I have to start driving a prius, drink pbr, wear skinny jeans, and develop a yen for obscure things?
