      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.

          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).
