So you have been bitten by a Lone Star Tick and you are not allergic to meat?

I’ve been bitten many times by Lone Star ticks. I have had tick sickness twice since moving to MO 7 years ago. The first time the sickness cleared up quick with doxy. This most recent, doxy did nothing. I just copied/pasted the below from a TN Gov site on ticks. This is worrisome IMO.

“The lone star tick is not believed to transmit the bacteria that causes Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi),
but it may be associated with a related bacteria species that has not been completely identified.”

My mom, dad, and both my sisters were likely bitten by those ticks. Mom and dad have both passed on, but both sisters and I love red meat. I call BS on this study.
