I found a can of orange spray paint in my son’s car one day. When asked about it, he said he and a friend were going out one night to do some cow tipping. When they got there they couldn’t’t stand to hurt the cows, so they used the paint they found in his buddies truck to “decorate them”. I know I’ve posted that before, but it still amuses me. We do red meat a few times a year, but I hope they figure this out. A whole beef tenderloin done sous vide is a crowd pleaser around the holidays.

Augie Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 CRAP! OK, I just bread the whole thing. We have a friend who travels with an epi-pen for this very reason. A tick got him as an adult. He could die if he stumbles upon even beef broth in the gravy of his turkey meatloaf. That’s a game changer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is VERY careful about everything! He’s well aware that danger lurks everywhere. BTW, pork? The other white meat? Nope....that will kill him too.

You mean, the ones that you find crawling around on you or already dug in, chowing down? Sure! I like to drop them into bleach, but I'll settle for a satisfying squish with a pliers if none handy. Or do you mean like, all of them? Nuclear war might do it. Short of annihilating all host lifeforms, otherwise probably not: "On top of lone stars’ rapacious mentality, Old Dominion’s Gaff says that after conducting a series of experiments, the bugs “seem to be invincible.” She’s tried freezing them — but they came crawling out of the freezer after seven days on ice. Next, she tried drowning them, figuring that sea-level rise on Virginia’s coast could end up doing humanity a favor by drowning out tick populations. Her team submerged lone stars in salt, fresh, and brackish water. Every single tick lasted for at least 30 days in each condition — the last lone star died after 74 days." They're tough little buggers. 1 hour ago, Misterbluesky said: Eat More Squirell.

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Just don't go hiking and bit by a tick. I am understand the assumption that that humans get bit by tick causing the allergy, not the cow or pig. Right? 1 hour ago, Misterbluesky said: Eat More Squirell. Eat more Asian carp.

I am understand the assumption that that humans get bit by tick causing the allergy, not the cow or pig. Right? Eat more Asian carp. Yes, it's the tick bite that causes the allergy. Due to booming populations of deer and expanding suburbs, ticks aren't just for hikers anymore; I've seen deer strolling down front lawns of a large suburb at noon, chowing on front yard plantings. Ticks fall off the deer into your forsythia, make thousands of tick babies which survive due to warmer winters, you stroll up to prune your forsythia and CHOWTIME (for the tick) I hear Asian carp are delicious. 8 hours ago, Boyst62 said: Oh jeez thanks hopeful ?
