ckreef Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I've been dealing with those ticks for the last 20 years. It would suck getting a meat allergy but I'm sure I could get by on fish, seafood, pork, chicken etc...... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 How coincidental - we had a gentleman come by our both at the BBQ Festival last night and asked if we had any beef products in our food (we didn't). He told us that he'd been bitten by a tick and was now allergic to beef. We all went - That really sucks! So, this is a real thing people. Be careful. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can't live your life worrying about stuff like that. If you do you might as well stay inside and become a hermit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
