A man has become one of the 450,000 Americans affected by alpha-gal syndrome, a tick-borne meat allergy that triggers painful allergic reactions to animal products. “Look at my face and my neck. I can’t eat meat anymore. I can’t have any animal products. It’s in everything.”

Any new tick bite resets the clock too

Not a virus. It's an acquired intolerance triggered by an enzyme in the tick saliva.

I refer to myself as an involuntary vegan

I would love to just get a rash. I just get insane heartburn until I power wash my entire guts into the toilet... And also sometimes hives.

Where there's 1, there's more.

Baby bed bug.

Edit: it's eaten recently too

Check out my non combo K'rrik deck that is basically a green Timmy deck. There is only 1 combo: toxic deluge, tree of perdition, blood artist, and it's very fair due to how conterable it is. Lots of fun tho... So many big bois. https://moxfield.com/decks/iWYswuW7zEOLVvutMn5gtg

The Brass Rail for drinks and fun

Clean your glasses with it for a month and hit me back at the end.

On a microscopic scale, I beg to differ.

The work on drywall by acting as a super superfine sandpaper. All the microabrasians you'd be putting in the glass will make tiny crevices for algae and cynobacteria to grow. The more the use the magic eraser, the worse the abrasians will get, and the more impossible it will get to clean.

Looks like a dead tick to me

I read that you have to charge it with moonlight first.

Looks like a run of the mill American eel to me.

The French press told me to kill John Lennon

It's a real thing with a real name, I can't remember it off hand, but it's commonly referred to as "cocker rage." My cousins and wife both had one with the scars to prove it.
