The Tiny Bug That’s Ruining BBQs & Farms

Ever heard of a tick bite making you allergic to burgers? Some farmers are getting hit with a meat allergy called alpha-gal syndrome after lone star tick bites, making it impossible to even be around cows or eat beef. With warmer weather helping ticks spread, more folks could be at risk. Farmers are now suiting up like beekeepers just to do chores. If you’re hiking or working outside, double up on bug spray and check for ticks—your next steak might depend on it! #FarmLife #TickTalk #AlphaGal #FoodAllergies #ClimateChange #Business
