No, but you could develop lyme disease or an anaphylactic reaction to eating beef. The anaphylaxis happened to a friend of mine after a tick bite. Be careful.

@LadyBronte Thanks for the info. I had never heard that before.
I've had quite a bit of beef since the bite. I haven't turned blue or outright croaked, so I'm safe for now. 😅

That's good. Lol. But I have no idea how long before a person would have symptoms. It's a weird thing. And I'm glad you dont look like a smurf. ;)

@LadyBronte I'm glad too. My life is busy enough without having to fight off Gargamel too 😁.
