    Ah yes,the lone star tick..I read about this years ago.. Pretty scary stuff though. That being said,other types of meat are still on he table.

    BTW,if you want to reduce ticks,put up a possum house since they eat a lot of them.

    The bite transmits a sugar molecule called alpha-gal into the person's body. In some people, this triggers an immune system reaction that later produces mild to severe allergic reactions to red meat, such as beef, pork or lamb, or other mammal products.

      We have lots of possums here. No need for a house, they make their own. I didn't know they eat ticks though.

Here are some other snaps you may like...
