“The warming temperatures have led to an increase of reports of the lone star tick in Minnesota. It’s a species that is traditionally found in the southern United States, and can give people an allergy to red meat.”

    I was just talking about ticks last night with my cousin from Michigan. He said when he was a kid he was outside 24/7 and never had a tick once, but just this year he’s found several on him. It makes sense given that migration patterns for pretty much everything are moving north, but damn. Ticks suck.
