Hey kids! A word to the wise. If you have been bitten by a tick, specifically a Lone Star tick, you might want to get tested for something called Alpha-gal. It causes a reaction to mammal products and there is a lot of that in food, supplements, soups. I ended up in the ER and now have to carry an epipen everywhere. I am recovering but redirecting my diet is daunting. Even skin creams can be suspect!
In other news, the weather is stellar for nice walks (no yard work for me till tick season is over). In a few days we will have been married 52 years. I am too wiped out to even celebrate.
