Yes, like I mentioned, I could get away with eating small portions for a while but then it got worse so now I don't risk it. I currently still drink milk, LOVE cheese and eat tons of it despite my doctor saying I shouldn't. Like the article said, lean meat doesn't cause as much of a reaction. My test actually broke down each type. It showed my antibody response to beef, lamb, pork, deer etc. What is strange with my case is I had it a few years ago but it appeared to go away. The doctor says that once the switch is turned in it's permanent. I don't recall if maybe I ate less, was mainly just eating deer meat or what. The next spring, I got it hard core. In my mind, I had gotten over it but got bitten again which turned it on permanently but who knows. It's a fairly new condition so not a lot is known. It also isn't very common yet. I think if it was more widespread to make it financially worth it, it shouldn't be that hard to make a gene therapy drug to turn the switch back off since they know how it is turned on by the tick. What is interesting is the ticks don't normally carry this. When they are in their young stage, they have to bite a white footed mouse to get it. They then fall off the mouse, become an adult tick then go after deer, people etc. I spend a lot of time in the woods and the ticks are everywhere in the spring. Unfortunately, I didn't mind them much and just accepted that it was part of living in the woods, especially my place that I run like a nature preserve. I have tons of deer which means I have more ticks than normal. Now I take ticks more seriously and spray my clothes with permethrin before going out. You can get it in concentrate form at feed stores for $11 that will make 25 gallons. A lot cheaper than the $6 for a few ounces they charge for the spray at box stores. I mix up a gallon at a time then pour some into a spray bottle I keep on the porch. I just spray my pants before going into the woods. Just know permethrin is ok around dogs but toxic to cats. If you have cats, keep it away from them and change clothes when you get around them.
