How common are peanuts, peanut butter, and peanut ingredients in Canadian restaurants, bakeries, chocolatiers, cafes, etc? I’m going on a family trip to western Canada soon and one of my cousins has a severe peanut allergy so I want to know how common it is for establishments to use peanut ingredients so we know what to look out for.

Edit: wow thank you so much for all the replies! I didn’t expect to get so many comments with such great advice! Will definitely be going into this trip much better prepared now because of all you lovely people!

I would hope not. It seems to me like if u have Canadian ancestry you’re gonna be from a normal state and be relatively smart and normal. I wonder how Canadians feel about so many Americans becoming citizens. Most of the people I’ve talked to are from places like California or Oregon.

Hi all, found an American dog tick on my ear and it had already secreted that white cement out of its mouth when I found it but I don’t see a bite mark. Still as someone with Lyme I’m super freaked out. Has anyone ever seen the white cement stuff secreted from a tick’s mouth before they bite? I thought that was only once they’ve bitten that they secrete it. Let me know your thoughts. I have plenty of doxy on standby.

They test for all the diseases, even diseases the tick in question doesn’t normally carry.

Here’s a YouTube video for everyone if u haven’t seen it describing the rigging of the 2024 election and including testimony from Elon’s ex girlfriend: https://www.youtube.com/live/wtNyo\_bUBpY?si=ZAg-XFLZFpo5NpD0

And why won’t democrats or judges fucking do anything about it??? They and all the people who helped rig the 2024 election belong in jail. And they’re gonna rig the midterms if we don’t put an end to all the rigging and prosecute all involved! The midterms will be rigged. So at what point will there be any accountability for all the people who were involved in all the cheating? Kamala won the 2024 election. Why isn’t she in office after the lawsuit last summer proved she won? Seriously do democrats work for trump? What are they getting out of protecting him as leader? This is so fucking creepy to me.

This website includes written descriptions of size, shape, and color of different North American ticks with charts depicting each species and life cycle as well.

Here is an article about diseases spread by ticks in North America. I will find more resources to share about the diseases spread by ticks worldwide in the next few days as well.

In case anyone is sensitive or too grossed out by the pictures of ticks I’ve been posting here to provide visual references for everyone to identify ticks, I’ve marked them all NSFW. I’ll post a few more identification charts as well and will pin them all so they’re easier for everyone to find.

Here is a great resource for identifying different ticks. I will post more about how ticks of each species look at various stages after feeding.
