“Various research teams have predicted massive growth in #tick and #mosquito populations in the decades ahead, with one Canadian study suggesting there could also be a #WestNileVirus infection rate roughly 18 times higher by 2050 as mosquito ranges expand.”

https://www.cdc.gov/ticks/alpha-gal/index.html What is alpha-gal syndrome (AGS)?
Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is a serious, potentially life-threatening allergic condition. AGS is also called alpha-gal allergy, red meat allergy, or #tick bite meat allergy. AGS is not caused by an infection. AGS symptoms occur after people eat red meat or are exposed to other products containing alpha-gal.

A CDC report showed that between 2010 and 2022, more than 110,000 suspected cases of AGS were identified.

Yep, we'd neglected that initially, especially with the warm weather 10 days ago.
And then mountain biking in showery weather is so much better in shorts...

Fortunately we'd brought our #tick sticks over from France. For the smallest #ticks it was not good, we had to wait a few hours to remove them... once swollen... :(

We bought others sticks here, but they weren't as good actually, the slit was too straight to allow to grab the tick efficiently.

The #Longhorned #Tick is making its way across #Missouri, with its presence detected in four counties, each in different parts of the state. While #cattle are primarily susceptible to its bites, MU Extension experts are reminding ranchers and the public about other ticks that could impact human health.

As many as 450,000 Americans may be living with #alphagal syndrome, a #meat #allergy that is linked to #tick bites, with many of those people going undiagnosed, according to two new studies from #CDC.#LoneStarTicks, are belienve to be primary culprits of the #disease in US. Researchers found that 78% of #healthcare providers who were surveyed had little or no knowledge of the condition, and many clinicians who had heard of the syndrome were not sure how to diagnose it.

Tick spit? Wow...

More than 100,000 people in the U.S. have become allergic to #RedMeat since 2010 because of a weird syndrome triggered by #tick bites, according to a government report released Thursday. But health officials believe many more have the problem and don't know it.
A second report estimated that as many as 450,000 #Americans have developed the #allergy.

A force de me coucher dans les herbes hautes pour photographier fleurs et insectes je me suis ramassé une tique dans le bide 🙄 J'ai essayé de l'enlever ce matin et la tête est restée coincée...🥴

While lying in the tall grass photographing flowers and insects, I got a tick in my belly 🙄 I tried to remove it this morning and the head got stuck...🥴

How to Protect Yourself from #Ticks and the Dangerous #Diseases They Spread
Experts explain why #tick-borne #illness are increasing in the U.S. and offer tips to prevent bites
#Pathogens don’t automatically transfer once a tick latches on. Many ticks lack disease-causing viruses and bacteria in the first place, and even if they are present, different pathogens transmit at different rates. Taking anywhere from 15 minutes to 36hr to transfer after you are bitten. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-to-protect-yourself-from-ticks-and-the-dangerous-diseases-they-spread/

3 hours in the garden yesterday-t3 nasty #tick bites

Need to take this seriously, as friend Alex Gil @elotroalex
has been knocked out of commission--and just yesterday, we spoke to a senior citizen down the street who was all bundled up because said she had gotten #LymeDisease this spring

#health #gardens #ticks

Just a quick reminder to do a tick check after being outdoors—gardening, lawn work, brush-clearing, hiking, fishing… whatever! Properly removing one of these nasties within 24 hours makes infection with any tick-borne illnesses much less likely. #tick #lymedisease

I have decided the Twitter Blue Tick is Elon's Uno Reversi card. Good is bad. Smart to dumb. Unverified now verified.

And so, now the only verified users I trust -- are those without the Blue mark of the beast!

UNverified is now more trustworthy than "verified!"
