She is an idiot. AGS was first described in 2009. You can get bitten by a tick and not develop the allergy. Only between 0.1% and 1% of the entire world's population actually develop the sensitivity, and it usually resolves on its own over time. Most of the US cases are along the bible belt, from Southern Missouri to the Carolinas.
Meanwhile, the internet outrage machine churns out more disinformation.
You truly lack thinking there.
So they can take that tick, analyze it in lab, and engineer it to make it much more dangerous, and release it again.
If cases explode in a sudden, and they are doing, that's your best bet.
Cases are not exploding though, they are staying consistent. Also, this is not something new, looking through old cases and data, this condition has been around for a long time, it was just formally described in 2009. Old cases were misidentified as one of the other tick-borne illnesses.
Same way with Lyme Disease. It was misidentified as acute arthritis during the 1900's and not formally identified until 1981. The following years showed an "increase" of 300,000 cases worldwide. But that is only because it was not a reportable disease until 1982. The cases before that were simply misidentified.
Meh, in southern ohio I must have been bit thousands of times by ticks. Pretty sure I even developed this allergy. Had a huge rash on my leg, prolly something like 6x8 inches. Looked realllll gnarly. Had for it about a year. Occurred to me that I might have this condition after being bitten so many times, but I wasnt a resident yet and didnt have healthcare, besides there is no test for it, I believe. So I just stopped eating beef, the rash went away about 4-5 weeks later. Coincidence? Maybe I guess. I do know of about three people who all were diagnosed with lyme disease within a 10 mile radius of where I was living. A young 7 year old girl, a 35 year old man, and another 65 year old man. So I would say cases were exploding even back then.
Later on when I was poisoned at work and seeking help, I thought maybe it was lyme disease or something. Asked for the test, got laughed at when they said the results come back negative, just like the bitch doctor was laughing at me when I said I had been poisoned with refrigerant at my job. Fucking pyschos lmao.
It has mostly gone away, I can eat beef again now. But the milk, it still makes me feel ill. I nearly puked trying to drink a glass one morning a few weeks back.
Could be hypercalcemia from all the vitamin d im still taking though. :shrugs:
I do agree, the woman who made this video is obnoxious as hell. First thing she says is "FORCES YOU TO GO VEGAN", which isnt true. You can still eat white meat like chicken, fish, and some pork.
