Title: Back Again
Post by: Zuma on September 08, 2017, 03:50:26 am

After two years my Alpha Gal has returned.
 I had it for four years or so before.
 I may have been bitten again. Not sure.
I caught this outbrake just before it got real bad.
It starts with heart burn and if I take Benadryl
immediately it usually stops the blisters.

Good Luck making that go away Zuma, doesn't look like anything very comfortable. Hope it doesn't spread or last long I really don't know anything about it.

Thanks BJ. Check out Alpha Gal on the web. There is plenty info about it now.
If you get bit by a Lone Star tick it makes you allergic to mammal meat.

ems to be gone but I did get a few more tick bites when I was at the Classic. I'm holding my breath. After the Heartburn and nausea then the hives covered my body from m to my toes. The last episode I had  to the hospital in an ambulance, blood pressure 70/40 and falling.

Dang sounds like something I really don't want to get. I don't think I could survive without mammals meat. Sure hope it goes away soon Zuma.
Sure hope you don't get it back Eddie. You'll have enough to worry about with that hurricane.

Man, that sucks Zuma. Looks like there's no treatment other than not eating meat. Have you looked at homeopathic remedies?

Thanks guys. I have been experimenting. I had an egg Mc Muffin (ham) this morning and a ham sandwich for lunch. Mixed it up with apples and strawberries.
I'll wait a bit and have some venison (small amount) to see what that does.Yeah Eddie you nailed it. Hope you don't get a recurrance.

I just read that the worst thing to do is remove tick with a twizzers, they release a toxin that causes this. They said to dab a oily cream on or several shoots of dry ice. Guess there getting to be huge problem.

They are quite a problem!  Lyme disease, Rocky Mountian Spotted fever, Texas Tick fever, this Alpha Gal( looks a lot like Shingles) plus a few others.  You  can coat them with petroleum jelly, and they will usually back out, I have heard of using a hot knife blade.  As BJ said, don't pull with a tweezers.  Just recently, I saw something about a tick remover that apparently works on a suction basis, I think.

There is no doubt these situations have been created by humans like Gypsy moths, killer bees and a host of others.
Like Iyme the Lone Star tick has a trail of human influence
