It’s an annoyance for sure but I hate using off or other deterrents. Plus I guess I am contributing to the eco system somewhat by giving them nourishment.

    Firstly, it’s not Lyme that causes the red meat allergy, it’s a different disease. Second, that’s ticks, not mosquitoes. Third, is there actually a source for this? I read a fearmongering article suggesting the same based on some theoretical ethics paper, but there was absolutely no evidence to suggest it’s been done.

      The red meat allergy from one of the tick diseases is real. I’ve never heard of it from mosquitoes.

        Sorry, I should’ve been more clear. I was asking for evidence regarding the claim people had been releasing these disease-carrying ticks.
