Perhaps the strangest tick-borne disease is alpha-gal syndrome, spread by the lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum). Victims develop sudden extreme allergies to the meat and milk of mammals. Some communities, like the island of Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, have seen such a surge in AGS that restaurants must change their menus to adapt. In fact, A. americanum is sometimes informally called "the vegetarian tick" - not because of what it eats, but because of how it can make its victims eat!
This double-posted hard enamel pin is ready to make a bold statement on your jacket, shirt, or bag, so you can remind everyone to check for ticks in style.
