I read a story this morning about a "new" tick, the Lone Star tick, heading north. Right now it is sort of prevalent between Pennsylvania and the Carolinas. But cases are starting to appear in our region. It carries a disease called alpha_gal syndrome which makes a person afflicted allergic to meat and dairy (sometimes violently). Check yourself for ticks!
