The Lone Star Tick Myth and America’s Deer Crisis

A 47-year-old New Jersey man ate a hamburger at a backyard barbecue and died a few hours later.
The media blamed the Lone Star Tick.
Then they blamed climate change.
Both claims collapse under the slightest scrutiny.

In this episode of The Tenth Man, we break down the truth behind Alpha-gal syndrome — the delayed meat allergy caused when ticks transfer a mammalian sugar molecule into the human bloodstream. It’s not venom, it’s not a toxin, and it’s not a climate artifact. Any tick can spread it, and the real vector isn’t the tick at all — it’s the deer.

We look at America’s 100-fold deer population explosion, why ticks simply follow deer into suburbs, and how “majestic” deer have become attractive vermin spreading disease. We dive into invasive species introduced by well-meaning animal lovers, the media’s lazy climate-change scapegoating, and the political regulations that choke hunters while protecting the very practices that spread disease.

From baiting bans to crop-damage permits to the absurd Sandhill Crane law that makes it illegal to eat a bird you were ordered to kill — this episode exposes how wildlife policy has been hijacked by feelings over science.

Hunters enter the woods this week to protect public health.
The government? Not so much.
