    This is bad news as full grown ticks aren’t involved, but this is evolution after all, the function is to end CAFO related greenhouse gas in meat production but the genetic mechanism was tick human coevo through infectious pathogen. Time to prepare to say byes to red meat. Not a bad thing.

    >>>Platts-Mills realized that many “chigger bites” in the Eastern United States are actually bites from Lone Star tick larvae.

      I’ve been red meat free for like 8 years. Another benefit is how much that limits your exposure to a lot of processed meats, and bacon.
