ckreef Posted June 22, 2017 Report 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

tony b Posted June 23, 2017 Report 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

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
