Alarming Symptoms

Ticks Spreading A Meat Allergy Along The East Coast
The lone star tick, named because of a white spot on its back, is spreading a meat allergy so strong it's forcing some people to become vegetarians, researchers are now saying.
"People will eat beef and then anywhere from three to six hours later start having a reaction; anything from hives to full-blown anaphylactic shock," Dr. Scott Commins, assistant professor of medicine at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, told ABC News. "And most people want to avoid having the reaction, so they try to stay away from the food that triggers it."
Holy Crap.   That is really going to mess up people with pre-existing glucose problems.
Y'all be careful out there...
