On the plus side, meat consumption will decrease.

This is what we call a negative feedback loop. More CO2 emissions->more ticks->more meat allergy->less demand for cattle->less CO2 emissions

“They will hunt you, they are like a cross between a lentil and a velociraptor,” said Sharon Pitcairn Forsyth, a conservationist who lives in the Washington DC area.

"drill baby drill"

Unpopular opinion but hear me out - doesn't a nice bowl of ticks go great with iced tea on a hot day?

There's a ton of these where I live. Probably the most common tick, actually. They are extremely aggressive, especially in the fall. The larva is so small you can't even tell they're not a fleck of dirt until they move. So many of them can get on you at once I describe it as a "plume" of ticks.

Trimming trails doesn't seem to prevent them from crawling across open ground climb on. I wouldn't know it if I was allergic to mammal meat, but I've heard people having reactions to gelatin pill capsules and other sneaky things.

It sucks, but the alternative is I don't experience the outdoors, so it's just something to deal with and plan for. All my clothing is treated with permethrin. I'm basically in "tick mode" any time I'm walking around except in the dead of winter.

Oh boy! Prepare for conspiracy theorys of BIG VEGAN creating ticks in labs to make Americans turn gay.

That sucks :( i hope not too many people get bitten

Climate activists should be air-dropping these over population centers like those radioactive screw worm flies

Good. Create a real libertarian party. Divy up the lunatics.
