Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlights the alarming rise of Lone Star ticks in the U.S., which are causing a rare meat allergy. Citing The Guardian, McIntyre connects the ticks’ expanding territory to climate change, as warming temperatures enable their spread into formerly inhospitable areas. Experts warn this could soon affect millions across the eastern United States.
