2025: Year of the Tick

   / 2025: Year of the Tick #151  
I suspect the dry weather we have been having here in VT has suppressed the tick activity a good bit. Not a lot of people I know have reported issues with them after a wave back in the Spring. The rain we are finally getting now just might bring them out...

What's interesting to me is the lady had AGS, had severe red meat allergies then acupuncture treatments which cured it.
It seems illogical but it worked for her.

Anyone seeing alpha gal in their area?
Daughter had it 5 to 10?? years ago in VA. Had to take her to infectious disease specialist for diagnosis. This year marks 2 year she could tolerate meats again. Very serious disease.

Went to farm this past Tues., farm in southern Ky. Sprayed pant legs and around ankles with deet 40 before going. First time in almost 3 years I didn't find ticks on me after showering that night.

I know if several people who have had their allergies successfully treated by acupuncture. (I don't know anyone with AGS, however - or at least no one has told me they have it.)

May have already posted this earlier, Ex daughter-in-law contacted Alpha --Gal in 2020 I think. Took her 3-4 years before she could eat a steak or burger. Not sure about pork.

Here in Missouri Chiggers seem to peak in late August through the remaining hot weather. When the tall weeds mature and dry out I am careful to use a spray with deet.
A bad case of chiggers is pure hell.

So her situtation wasn't just red meat? No chicken or fish either?
