A New Jersey man has died from AGS, Alpha-Gal Syndrome.  He was bitten by a tick infected with Alpha-Gal.  This causes you to become allergic to red meat.  Be careful out there.

they are really bad here, Ive pulled easily over 200 off me.  I know landscapers and tree workers who wear panty hose under their clothes because the ticks cannot get thru it and spraying deet on your skin everyday is well you know.....treating clothes only goes so far also here in 6' high scrub oak brush.
