Tick Tip #2:
Carry a lint roller when you are hiking, and roll it over your clothes frequently. I once rolled off >1000 larval ticks and not one managed to bite me! I learned this tip and more from following @VectorCollector.

Asthma was the 1st symptom I associated with eating red meat; I wasn't diagnosed until I had anaphylactic rxns yrs later. More like 10 minutes after eating in my case. I had to eat liver pâté at my doctor's office to convince her that my reactions were real. #listentopatients
23.23% of patients with #asthma and 33.56% of those with a #VitaminD deficiency reported an #alphagal reaction within five minutes of exposure, said @DrJenPlatt of @TBCU2018 and @UNCpublichealth at #AAAAI23. @alphagal_info @twoalphagals

In Boston today sharing analysis with resident researchers on housing affordability as part of a collaboration with MIT’s Healthy Neighborhoods Initiative. The storytelling that @emmalwalters and Julia de Souza Campos Paiva did led to powerful storytelling and conversation… – at Boston, MA

How many ticks did I spot along a #SanFrancisco #BayArea trail? Just behind suburban backyards? Here are 4 of SO MANY! @Lymenews @CAPublicHealth @BayAreaLyme @CDCgov @NIH #Tick #Lyme @JV @NYTHealth @UCSFMedicine @UCSF

How can we predict species responses to #climatechange if they are going to experience temperatures that we have not observed yet? New paper in @PNASNews led by Ty Wagner incorporates thermal tolerances into statistical models of abundance. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22…

Don't miss the great, new NPR episode about alpha-gal syndrome!
"What's new is that we have patients who really just have GI symptoms"
Follow experts @scott_commins and @SarahMcGillMD if you are interested in this condition.

"The current paradigm is that GI doctors should rarely think about food allergies, because those are problems of kids, not adults, and symptoms in allergies should occur reproducibly after exposure. That’s just not true in alpha-gal allergy." 1/

Check out our interactive tick map that documents the counties in Illinois where the different tick species have been confirmed and the types of pathogens present in those ticks: idph.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Ma…

To avoid tick bites, conduct a thorough tick-check for yourself, your children and pets after spending time in and near wooded areas, tall grass, and brush. Removing ticks within a 24-hour period reduces the risk of potential disease transmission.

It's time for #callnotes the bird mnemonic quiz challenge. The first to name today's mystery bird will be the winner 🏆 🥇 listen for: tea dear dear dear hear dear and tea-too. Was once lumped now properly restored to its former distinctive glory. Named after the male's pattern.

Where do you find lone star ticks, which are the parasite most associated with alpha-gal syndrome in the U.S. ? iNaturalist can help. Surprised to see two reports from Winnipeg! Photograph and iNat your tick sightings, folks!

My sustainability class just finished a module about disinformation. I had them write me a letter assuming they were flunking and arguing that they deserve an A, using the techniques of disinformation we discussed, like cherry picking, false experts and ad hominem. HOO-boy. 1/n

When @ui_IHHE professors Shirley Luckhart and Ed Lewis first visited Kenya 25 years ago, they almost stayed to make their lives there. But it’s a good thing they didn’t, because they have forged a far greater impact by connecting researchers at @uidaho.
