it's a bad year for infected ticks and lyme disease

[Annie]

I dunno, blood test maybe? I have never had the test. I guess I should have asked for it. But my dr is a bit on an idiot and usually sweeps it under the rug if a patient suggests what the problem could be.

Patients should be seen and not heard eh? My doc is not that bad.

My dr isn't too bad, but if I try to tell him what I think is the problem he's more like "I'm the doctor, let me do the diagnosing"....

He is worried if you are right,  you will make him obsolete.

I contracted the meat allergy (Alpha-gal allergy) via a tick bite about 3.5 years ago. It's been the bane of my existence ever since.

That sucks my friend. But, we don't have lone star ticks where I live.

Regular grass ticks will also pass on the allergy, but to a lesser extent. Mine was undoubtedly passed on to me by the notorious Paralysis Tick...it's the Australian equivalent of the Lone Star Tick. In my case I unfortunately only learnt of my allergy when I began to go into Anaphylactic Shock and my missus helped me off the bathroom floor after hearing me cracking my head when I passed out off the toilet. It was 'orrible!

I'm sure it was. My bites were not that dramatic.

Nor were mine at first. I started getting the rashes and IBS symptoms over a few weeks and basically put it down to a stomach bug of sorts. But the more mammalian meat I consumed over time, the more my symptoms were compounding...until it was nearly all too late.
