“The warming temperatures have led to an increase of reports of the lone star tick in Minnesota. It’s a species that is traditionally found in the southern United States, and can give people an allergy to red meat.”

I was just talking about ticks last night with my cousin from Michigan. He said when he was a kid he was outside 24/7 and never had a tick once, but just this year he’s found several on him. It makes sense given that migration patterns for pretty much everything are moving north, but damn. Ticks suck.
Friend of mine got bit by one of these and got alpha-gal syndrome. It’s completely wild. Definitely not the worst thing that’s ever happened but became unable to eat meat basically overnight.
