I'd gladly trade my symptoms for an allergy to red meat. It would take me exactly zero seconds to make that decision. After four years of what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-me I'm finally on an antibiotic protocol that seems to be working. I'm hoping to make a BW trip this September. Last one was May 2016.
Do everything you can to avoid being bitten by a tick. That' why I soak everything I can in Permethrin before a trip. Started doing just my clothes but now I do Dry-Fly and tent body. I fear a tick bite far worse than any possible damage from Permethrin especially with exposure mostly limited to 2-3 weeks a year. The red meat issue is just another incentive for those on the edge about using Permethrin.
