(PJ Media)—The lone star tick, or Amblyomma americanum, is found throughout the United States, specifically on the East Coast, throughout the South, and in parts of the Midwest. It’s also found in Mexico. As ticks do, they carry nasty diseases that can be serious if not treated immediately, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
These include bourbon virus disease (which sounds like an awful flu), ehrlichiosis (which more often than not leads to hospitalization and can be fatal), Heartland virus disease (which also often leads to hospitalization), Southern tick-associated rash illness or STARI (which is similar to Lyme disease), and tularemia (which can affect your skin, eyes, throat, lungs, and intestines).
It also causes alpha-gal Syndrome (AGS), a serious food allergy involving red meat that can make your life a living hell. While some people only develop skin reactions, like hives, itching, flushing, and swelling of the eyelids, throat, tongue, or face, others may also end up with gastrointestinal issues, like diarrhea, cramping, nausea, vomiting, and indigestion. Even worse, some people develop lung issues, ranging from cough and wheezing to anaphylaxis and shortness of breath. It can also cause arthritis, low blood pressure, heart palpitations, and immune system disorders.
Alpha-gal is found in:
Meat, including pork, beef, rabbit, lamb, goat, buffalo, or venison.
Medical products and medications, including the cancer drug cetuximab.
Products made from mammals, such as gelatin and cow’s milk, as well as personal care and household items.
People with AGS may also react to products with carrageenan. This additive is often used to thicken and preserve food and drinks such as nut milks, meat products and yogurt.

Discover the Freedom of True American Healthcare: Why America First is Revolutionizing Protection for Patriots
In a world where government overreach and skyrocketing premiums are squeezing the life out of hardworking Americans, one innovative agency is standing tall for liberty and affordability. Meet America First Healthcare—the private health insurance powerhouse dedicated to putting *you* first.
Founded by entrepreneur Jordan Sarmiento, this isn’t just insurance; it’s a shield for your family’s future, built on the unshakeable belief that private enterprise delivers better results than bureaucratic red tape.
Picture this: Jordan’s own story hits close to home for so many of us. A sudden medical emergency landed him with a staggering $95,000 bill. Under a traditional plan? He’d be buried in debt. But with America First’s patented health insurance, that nightmare shrank to just $500 out-of-pocket. That’s not a fluke—it’s the promise of coverage that works *for you*, from day one.
Breaking Free from the Chains of Conventional Coverage
Let’s face it: The status quo stinks. Marketplace.gov and big-insurance behemoths hit you with sky-high deductibles—thousands you’d have to pay before benefits even kick in—leaving massive holes in your protection. Need a routine mammogram, colonoscopy, or EKG? Good luck without forking over more cash. And don’t get us started on the gaps in dental, vision, or critical illness support when heart attacks, cancer, or kidney failure strike.
America First Healthcare flips the script. As a proud advocate for private solutions over government intervention, they craft custom plans that slash costs by 20% compared to traditional options. We’re talking comprehensive coverage that includes:
- Preventative and Wellness Care: Physical exams, screenings, and EKGs covered right away—no waiting games.
- Telemedicine Access: Virtual doctor visits anytime, anywhere, for that peace of mind.
- Accident and Critical Illness Protection: Real safeguards against life’s curveballs.
- Add-On Boosts: Dental, vision, disability, and supplemental plans to plug every leak.
Whether you’re an individual stepping off your parents’ plan, a growing family with kids in tow, or a small business owner tired of employee headaches, their tailored approach fits like a glove. Small businesses? Unlock group benefit rates usually reserved for corporate giants—without the red tape.
And for those in-between moments? Short-term insurance steps in as an ultra-affordable bridge, while life insurance ensures your loved ones are never left vulnerable.
