[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1427778, member: 20599"] Meat allergy, schmeat allergy. Now here's a REAL tick-borne illness to give you nightmares: [url=https://www.cdc.gov/powassan/index.html]https://www.cdc.gov/powassan/index.html[/url] Powassan: fatal in at least 10% of cases (one article placed it far higher but I can't find it now; it basically gave you a 50/50 shot). Comes on quickly and causes encephalitis etc. Lasting neuro damage likely [b]if[/b] you survive it. No vaccine, no treatment (other than put you on a vent and hope your body beats it back in time). Oh and the tick vector is spreading. Sweet dreams! [/QUOTE]
