My wife has 2 friends in Montauk who have this disease,and the local doctor said theres about 60 cases on the south fork that he know's of. Also, one of my wife's friends has trouble with poultry as well. I did read that if you can avoid being bitten by another lone star then the allergy will go away after a couple of years.

The doctor I see in southampton is working with University of Virginia. Who discovered this allergy. Last year I was the 36 confirmed case she had. Just saw her last week she now has 162 confirmed cases. My blood work said i am thru the roof on the alpha gal test that they do for this. Not surprised though I am covered with chiggers.
I thought I read something that said many people in our area mistake tick larvae for chiggers. Maybe thats why your numbers are high. All I really know is that I really hope I dont get bitten by a lonestar, my wife found tons in her vegetable garden this summer.
