Tick Tip #2: Carry a lint roller when you are hiking, and roll it over your clothes frequently. I once rolled off >1000 larval ticks and not one managed to bite me! I learned this tip and more from following @VectorCollector.

Asthma was the 1st symptom I associated with eating red meat; I wasn't diagnosed until I had anaphylactic rxns yrs later. More like 10 minutes after eating in my case. I had to eat liver pâté at my doctor's office to convince her that my reactions were real. #listentopatients

They’re baaaaack! Lone star ticks are active, hungry, and in pursuit across their occupied territory in Illinois. Want to see where we’ve found them with repeat quantitative dragging across the state for the past 4 years? Check out the IDPH maps here! go.illinois.edu/illinois-ticks

Watching a movie, I tell my 9-yr old: “But, you can see an upside if you choose to - the most challenging adverse circumstances & unfair situations - can create the best leaders.” She replies: “And, supervillains!” Touché. A new perspective & opportunity to develop sympathy.

Don't miss the great, new NPR episode about alpha-gal syndrome! "What's new is that we have patients who really just have GI symptoms" Follow experts @scott_commins and @SarahMcGillMD if you are interested in this condition. kvcrnews.org/2023-04-02/tic…

"The current paradigm is that GI doctors should rarely think about food allergies, because those are problems of kids, not adults, and symptoms in allergies should occur reproducibly after exposure. That’s just not true in alpha-gal allergy." 1/ gastroendonews.com/PRN/Article/03…

To avoid tick bites, conduct a thorough tick-check for yourself, your children and pets after spending time in and near wooded areas, tall grass, and brush. Removing ticks within a 24-hour period reduces the risk of potential disease transmission.

It's time for #callnotes the bird mnemonic quiz challenge. The first to name today's mystery bird will be the winner 🏆 🥇 listen for: tea dear dear dear hear dear and tea-too. Was once lumped now properly restored to its former distinctive glory. Named after the male's pattern.
