There are worse diseases to catch from ticks

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Ok? I'm not asking about those.

Ok? I was talking about those.

Great, and I asked a follow up question about a very specific one. If the reply to my question is not the answer then it's worthless. Thankfully someone else actually gave me the information I asked for instead of wasting everyone's time with useless replies.

What does meat allergy have to do with ticks?

Not the person you're replying to but you can get Alpha-gal Syndrome (causing potentially deadly allergies to red meat) from the lone star tick so I can see why it would be a natural follow up question to this discussion.

Oh okay, that's my bad then. I had never heard of that before.

All good I just figured you didn't know by your response so I thought I'd share if not just because it's interesting (and scary as hell).
