Ticks

[dawgs14]

Really sorry to hear that. I re-get Lyme or have flare ups from past infections every year or two. But I worry most about getting alpha gal. Do they have any treatments on the way for that, or any sign it can decline over time?

The effects over time get less severe but with a new lone star tick bite the alpha gal renews or resets. No known treatments that I know of. I keep children Benadryl with me, office truck, home, suitcase, at all times in case I accidentally eat beef or pork.

I had no idea about alpha gal.

I use Simparica Trio on both our Labs. We occasionally find a dead tick in the house which is the way I like to find ticks

Same. We find a dead tick here and there but generally no live ones. Just saw the first (dead) tick about a week ago in my part of Colorado.
