Why 2026? And What A 6 Year ER Physician Does At Her Own Back Door To Actually Keep Her Home And Family Safe.
Alpha-gal tests run at one hospital
This is not a bad year. This is a line.
The same hospital.
The same test.
Five years apart.
The lone star is moving north. Every year. Into states that never had it.
Kansas, up 25% this year alone.
Massachusetts now orders doctors to report every case. States do not do that when something is under control.
ER visits: highest since 2017. Up more than a quarter on last year.
The last number on this page is not the peak. It is just the most recent one.

What it takes
You will never feel the bite. So you will never know which day it was. You just wake up one year and your body is smaller.
Lyme, in your joints
60% OF UNTREATED CASES.
- Kneeling down in the garden
- Getting off the floor without your hands
- Stairs, like a normal person
- Sleeping and waking up rested
- Being believed
A knee swells for no reason. It goes down. Then it moves to a shoulder. It does not behave like arthritis, so nobody treats it like anything. Left alone, the damage to the joint is permanent.
Alpha-gal
NO CURE. FOR LIFE.
- A burger off your own grill
- Bacon
- Your mother's pot roast
- Ice cream
- The capsule your pills come in
It does not hit at the table. It hits at two in the morning, so you never connect it to dinner.
Powassan
FIFTEEN MINUTES.
Lyme usually needs a tick attached a day or more. Powassan can pass in as little as fifteen minutes.
Which takes the last thing on the list.
The argument that checking was ever going to be enough.
If you are reading this with a knee that swells
For most people who turn up with it now, the swollen joint is the first sign there ever was. No rash. No fever. No memory of a bite. The early part of it was silent, and by the time the knee goes, they have been carrying it for months.
If a joint has been swelling on and off and nobody can tell you why, and you live where these things live: go and ask for the Lyme test by name. Nobody is going to run it for you.
