I heard Rush talking about the ticks yesterday but I think he got it wrong. He said if the tick bites the cow then the meat will cause you to have allergic reaction. The article says if the tick bites you, then you will have an allergic reaction to meat.
I have lived in Texas my entire life and and I have seen many ticks, on myself and on my dogs, I have never seen a tick with a white spot on it.
Same here as far as living here all my life. I remember them in Lee county where I grew up. We had cattle, hogs, sheep, dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys and other animals. I've had those ticks bite me when I was a kid.
