Maybe you know that some NJ guy just died recently from 'alpha-gal' gotten from a tick bite... There are a number of videos covering like this-
What's got me going is being pissed off by the misinformation about the subject as my wife & I are actual tick experts from EXPERIENCE! about the only true thing is that the guy died... There is no 'climate change' which is an incredibly stupid meme, the climate has been changing since the dinosaurs it's mostly a generic excuse to cover DEW fires or geo-engineered weather (every NexRAD station IS a weather control station)...
Anyway, back to ticks... You see, we bought our property here 20 years ago, before being bought we went through the entire property going through briars & brush using machetes all the way to top of bluff in hot weather... NO TICKS! In fact it wasn't till 2009 that I was cutting some wood out in the forest that was 'treefall' or trees fallen on their own that I had got a deer tick attached to my right calf & it had obtained a blood meal!... Must've got it early on in the work...
Whelp... Deer ticks are harmless, BUTT!... it got me to be more wary of ticks in general...
Around 2012 we started seeing different ticks like 'instantly'... These were small rootbeer brown ticks sometimes with a white dot in the middle... If a heavy rain came they would be washed downhill... These new ticks were not 'slow' like deer ticks but fast sprinters & would head straight for a human if they sensed/smelled you... They were also TOUGH!... Squeezing one between finger/thumb would not crush them...
These 'freaks' often would climb up to grass tops or weeds waiting for a passerby or if ABOVE on a branch will drop onto you if you pass under, but just drop, they cannot jump...
OK in 2013 we got metal roofing which I installed that will be soon mentioned...
Tick problem got gradually worse THEN in 2015 an epiphany!... in late march 2015 I was up at 1:30 AM which was unusual but I had just checked radar weather ping online before shutting down, no nothing anywhere near... THEN I heard outside a small plane passing overhead the what sounded like large drops of rain like what you hear right before a thunderstorm which sounded out quite well on the metal roof... Aborting the shutdown I checked weather again...NOTHING! Then looked outside, Huh, no rain, so looked out backdoor on deck...WTF?... Went out there was TICKS!... The plane had just dropped ticks! This is how they are spreading! The govt is 'distributing' ticks in this manner which answered alot of questions for the two of us...
This is why these ticks are 'engineered' to be so tough, so they can survive a fall from a plane... Also engineered to 'ride on a pet & wait for the human host'... Yup many times seen on our dogs but if placing hand on pet tick will 'sprint like hell' to get to you...
On a former channel on YT there was a gal 'NeverLoseTruth' who found a vid on a guy who was talking that back in the 1950's the govt was experimenting with dropping ticks on enemy populations to spread pathogens & what-not... So they have had much time to perfect these creatures...
Have to go but next will inform how best to handle these when you find them or when 'dug in'... We both have had many on us but no 'alpha-gal' syndrome but have since 2015 dozens dug in even 3 on scrotum...
