Apparently we have these along the Great Lakes (but not exclusively) already according to reports on etick.ca. Here's a pic:
Since not everyone reports tick bites, the numbers are probably a lot higher than what's on etick.ca.
Fuck ticks, but nature has a sense of humour with this meat allergy. LOL
There's something poetic about climate change (caused in no small part due to farming and particularly cattle farming) allowing a tick that causes red meat allergies (thus reducing red meat consumption) to expand its territory.
My wife was bit by one when she was a teen, and its pretty nasty. Hers hits when she eats a lot of red meat, or eats slow-cooked red meat, but its hives, scratchy throat, and nasty stomach cramps.
