- waste_monk 7y agoI don't know, as someone who eats a lot of meat the idea of catching a meat allergy from a tick bite is pretty terrifying https://acaai.org/allergies/types/food-allergies/types-food-allergy/meat-allergy https://acaai.org/allergies/types/food-allergies/types-food-...
- reggintoggaf 7y agoYou can still eat poultry and fish if you have it. You just can't eat mammals. As someone who's mostly zero-carb, I find it scary too, but it's not a total catastrophe.
- stallmanite 7y agoWow one more weird reason to fear ticks. I wonder why ticks are such effective disease vectors.
- EdwardDiego 7y agoIt's more their reputation as a disease vector that scares me. We don't have very many ticks in NZ, and currently (let's see what climate change brings) no insect disease vectors, so not at all used to them. I suspect you're not worried about them for the same reason I'm not worried about bovine TB - you know how to handle it.
