Meat eaters alert — beware the alpha gal. Lone star ticks have been found in Dubuque County. Those ticks infect humans with alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), a sugar molecule. When a lone star tick bites a human, it injects AGS into the blood stream. The immune system then develops an allergic reaction to alpha-gal, which is most present in red meat from pork, beef and lamb. Iowa agriculture does not want people developing allergies to red meat so this tick is really scary here.

Our pop quiz Big Green Umbrella T shirt winners last week were Laurie DeHaai and Kris Laurson. (KFC buckets in the company's first decades included 14 pieces, plus rolls and gravy. They cost less than $6 through 1970.)
