Unusually aggressive lone star ticks, common in the south-east, are spreading to areas previously too cold for them

    So who is going to breed these and seed them on cattle ranches?

      They already do that by themselves. Long grass and cattle are perfect tick breeding ground

    It isn’t an allergy to all meat though… the meat from primates are safe for people with Alpha-gal Syndrome. Time to invest in monkey farms.

    Maybe a meat cessation drug can be derived from them. A meat Zyban.

      I don’t see the point in trivializing a serious, potentially life-threatening allergy just because another tick-borne disease (also prevalent in the same country) is worse. Plenty of excellent reasons to complain about the US and its citizens, but this post is pointless and petty.
