These ticks are all over the Southeast. This Popsci article goes into good detail.

However, there is a spot of good news for those who fall prey to the Lone Star tick’s bite. The effects seem to be temporary, lasting a few months or a few years—as long as you don’t get bit again.

Who knew we had PETA ticks lol

THANKS Eric. That is exactly the symptoms that affects my brother in law. He has really been having a hard time with it. I will forward the link to him asap.

Allergic reactions can be life-threatening. I keep Benadryl handy for mild cases. Serious cases can close off your windpipe... and you die!

I hope your BIL is okay and it is only temporary, HG.

I think it will offer some insight to his issues. He is a pretty big wheel for a major hospital in Georgia. He has access to some of the best health care around but they seem to be perplexed about what caused his problems. Your link maybe the key. Thanks..
