Love you little bigger brother. With all my heart. ❤️ K&S

So happy they figured it out. Forget fear of wasps. Change to fear of ticks.

My nephew had this same issue & it was so scary until he was diagnosed he had treatments for almost 4yrs & is over it now doing great!! Sending you lots of prayers for recovery! God will see you thru this.🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️

Oh My Goodness how CUTE is Spruce taking his bottle,,I love the gift exchange.Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday to two sweet peeps !!!

Mario is checking out your Coveralls Kyle. I loved the gifts you gave to each other. And Spruce helped himself to the grain. I guess he is weaned now. 😃. OMG Tick born food allergies are very bad Glad you found out as soon as possible Kyle, and you had a Doctor up to speed with testing for tick issues

Allergies are not a joke, I have alot of them. They do cause you to live a little differently. However if you stay aware, your life will be okay. ❤

Hope you have a speedy recovery. Ticks are dangerous.

Spruce is growing up so fast. He is mischievous. He definitely is Bruce's son. 😂. Great gifts for each other. Praying for you 2.

My son has had his red meat allergy for about 15 years. His job requires him to go in woods and high grass. The tick that causes this has a white spot on it. I am sorry you have to deal with this. Stay well. I wish you and Shannon nothing but the best

Feel better soon Kyle

Smart Kyle getting your lab results despite the secretary at the doctors making you wait for the Dr. to call. And you did research, Shannon did research as well as the KZfaq audience sharing solutions. Changing your diet like you and Shannon did immediately helped you. Your experience Kyle and Shannon helps all of us.

Wow, I knew about Lyme disease but have never heard of this "Alpha Gal" thing.. that's so scary! I'm so glad you are feeling better Kyle and as I said in the Live, I prayed right away earlier and when you first mentioned this to us all. I had no idea that a tick bite could cause such devastation for people. I hate those things, they are absolutely disgusting. Happy Birthversary!! I love the gifts you gave each other and I simply adore you both and all of the animals too! Good job, Spruce on doing so well on your weaning 💜🐐 !! God bless you K&S and all the babies too! 💜❤❌⭕

Your animals have amazing personalities ❤❤❤❤

Got a good chuckle off your gift confessions. You two live life the way my darlin & I have lived for 40 years. LOL Surprise gifts just don’t happen often! LOL

The gift idea was so sweet - I love how you both show your love toward each other, and so willing to compliment one another !!! Si sorry you're having to face the allergy due to a tick bite, which I know isn't a pleasant thing to be dealing with, but I so much appreciate how you are giving the Lord the praise for His intervention in how others have helped you know what your problem is !!! I so much enjoy your goats and birds - Spruce is growing absolutely to quickly !!! God bless you both as you adjust to your new eating habits !!!

My son's moved us to the mountains of Virginia. My husband was walking in the woods around my son's home. For dinner we had pre frozen hamburgers. An hour or so later my husband started itching and his skin started swelling. So I took him to the hospital emergency room. She asked him if he had a tick on him, he said yes, then she asked him what he had for dinner, pre frozen hamburgers. She said you have an allergy to red meat because of the tick bite. He has to take a Benadryl tablet every morning. We found out that fresh hamburger that we patty ourselves doesn't bother him. We have to keep the yard mowed really short. I noticed that there are really tall patches of grass, you need to keep it down way down cause they like to be in that. Yeah that doctor knew right away what was going on with him. Some of those spotted ticks have that Lyme disease too. You take care of yourself and remember to keep everything that's green cut way down low. I would suggest getting taller boots and white shirts cause the will fall out of the trees, that way you can see them. I have Ortho bug b gone and I sprayed around the bottom of the trees in my yard , since you have goats spray up as high as they can't reach all around the tree. That will at least slow them down. The grass getting mowed super short will help a lot. Donna from southwestern Virginia.

Hurray, Herc, and Blue are in the same area. I am so happy that you are feeling better and that you are so proactive in your quest to understand what is probably the issue. Blessings and continued prayer to you both from Proctor Minnesota!

Blue is living the life

I'm in SE Wisconsin. Biggest problem here is deer ticks and Lyme disease. It's gotten so people in suburban areas have to be mindful of tall grassy areas

So loving seeing everything you do for each other and your animals. Herc taking a mouthful of hay out, Kyle put it back, Herc taking it out again 😆💜 Love and prayers for you all 😇💜

I am so happy you found out what was wrong with your ticks and you have a diet ti follow. I loved being with the goats tonight and seeing how well they are doing. They are so precious.

I’m glad you found out I’m alergic to certain ticks to and got deathly sick . I think I told you before I ended up with Rocky Mountain fever from it . Hope your feeling better I have to keep Benadryl on hand because of ticks and it does help

Hello Kyle and Shanon! I love our Dr. He encourages us to be informed, ask questions, suggest tests or concerns. It’s the first time in my life (I’m into my Elder years) that I feel like my Dr, his staff and I are a team in my healthcare. You have a great Family with you and a huge Shady Acres Farm Family as well. We’ll be walking this journey with you. The gift exchange was adorable 😊. Spruce is going to be full of mischief. It’s a good thing he’s adorable. Blessings of Healing and Love ❤

Prayers are with them both. I’m sure it’s hard on her as well. Now she has to figure out other things to cook that they both like and can eat. And I’m sure she will not eat certain foods in front of him so I’m sure that isn’t going to be fun but I know she is going to support him in every way she can. Let’s hope it isn’t the worst strain of whatever it is.

Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. May the lord bless and protect you and Kyle and the animals

Thankful you found out. Be safe guys.

I absolutely love you guys. I love and appreciate your attitudes, your positivity in the face of adversities, your taking proactive steps... you are such an inspiration. I will add you both to my prayer list. God bless you both with patience and wisdom.

I use plant butter everywhere. I use coconut milk or oat milk. If you put coconut milk in fridge then whip it makes a great like cool whip. Add a strawberry jelly or plain strawberries. Great source of plant based protein mix no whey. Lots of options 😊

Happy Anniversary to you both . May God Bless you both with many more years together .

Hey guys....I'm so glad you got test results back that confirm what your research indicated ....and you've already started on a new nutrition protocol that will reduce or eliminate those horrible side effects to the tick bite. The facial expression you saw on Mario is called the Flehmen Response....it is used by males of many species of mammals to check the urine smell on a female to see if she is in heat. Learned that from several other homesteaders I watch. I've seen it many times with goats and horses. If Mario detected that with Blue or your other does, you should see mating behavior soon. If you do, you can write down the date the doe was "covered" by the male and that will help you figure out when she is due to deliver. Hope that's helpful information. Hugs and prayers to you both......be well and be happy!!!!!

Love the overalls. Go Shannon

Your goats are so special individually and together and I love seeing them every time you vlog. What a wonderful life!!! 😆♥️♥️♥️

Do a food diary Kyle and that way you find out exactly when you have a reaction to what you’ve been eating or drinking😊

Happy BirthdayAnniversary! 🎉

Got 3 lives at same time gotta share the love. I 👍 but will do the replay later.

I'm really sorry you're having to deal with this, but I'm thankful you were able to address it so quickly! I can't understand why scientists haven't been able to come up with a way to combat them. They're just awful, and I can't see where they even serve a purpose

My prayers are with you and Shanon. They may be tiny, but they carry a big wallop! Glad you caught soon enough to get you on the right track to feeling better. Take care!

Kyle I have had those kinds of dreams and you can't help but wonder if it's a warning. God is with you always, I know you know that, just a reminder. I'll continue to keep you and Shanon in my prayers. God Bless! 💕💕 PS: what is Herc's fascination with the hay in the feeder?! LOL!!!

Shannon save the time stamp on the knife possesion in a server off site in Switzerland and apply the tape measure doctrine and you'll be okay

Love watching you and your animals they are so sweet and really make me laugh. Spruce is a little sneak getting into the food, I hope he didn't eat to much. Your gift exchange was so cute and funny you got each other great gifts. I am so glad you have found out what is going on with your health Kyle, and getting the tests and information fast. How wonderful that your friends can help you from their experience though so sorry he has gone through this and not knowing what it was for so long. I hope there are treatments that can help you recover and control disease. Maybe Shannon should be tested too, just to be sure the ticks have not effected her in any way. I can't wait until your birds can eat all those ticks. God Bless

Those overalls carry ALL your stuff!! All. Your goats are gorgeous! I love Blue!! Oh no! Still praying for you and the family! Love you both!

Don't wait on the doctor be persistent, advocate for yourself. I have a brother that got Lyme disease from a deer tick.

So glad that you were able to find out what was wrong Kyle!Awesome gift exchange ❤

Kyle, I’m glad you researched about tick bite disease and problems. I cannot have red meat and many other things. I had the Kansas State Lawrence University research, per Dr order to find cause and what my food allergy issues were. There was/is an enzyme that is linked to mine. I can’t eat watermelon, tuna, zucchini, red meat, and now other foods…but my situation I have MS, am 70 yrs old and am miserable because I want a whopper or Big Mac. Good luck, God’s blessings throughout this journey. I’m praying for you. Be careful even smelling the red meat cooking…I’m serious. I can’t be around a barbecue now. I pray that you can adapt…without any issues. Love you folks.🥰🙏🏻

Love you both so much❣️☮️🐾🐾💋🐾🐾💋🐝🤠🌻

Navigating our health care system can be very…challenging, frustrating and exhausting.😅

Good job taking charge of your own health, Kyle!❤👍 It'll be interesting to hear what the doctor has to say. I hear a lot about Lyme disease, but honestly, I had no clue about tick borne allergies such as what you're suffering from. Thank you for sharing the information and spreading the word. 😍

I feel for you. It’s not easy to change your lifestyle with eating habits. I recently changed mine to support my husband with his diabetes. We went Keto and I sure miss my bread and potatoes, but keeping him alive without harming other parts of his body is the most important thing. I will continue to remember you in my prayers.

That Dr. Kyle sounds like a smart guy ....thanks for the information I live out in the sticks too !!!!

I forgot you can also spray your clothing with tick spray. You can also surround your goats and cages for chickens and guineas with these same plants.

So sorry you are having to deal with this. 🙏💙❤️

They had a report story on our news Here in Springfield MO tonight, was thinking about you. May God's blessing be with you both. ♥️

Like the overalls. I think you need more Kyle. 😊

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 & y’all are doing the best things possible. Love your animals & Shady Acres!! 🥰🥰🥰

You gave each other great gifts ❤

Happy Anniversary to you both, prayers for Kyle and Shannon as you both work through this , and come on feathered babies get big enough to go to work lol Love you both

Hello guys just checking in . Love your videos.❤❤

I am so sincerely sorry that you and your friend have to go through this, as well as all others that may be dealing with this. My prayers are with all of you. But I am also very thankful that JP was there for you so you'd know how to get the help you need. Through your channel, so many more people can get the help they need too. My thoughts and heart are with you. ❤😊🥰🙏🏼

Kyle and Shanon. Plant peppermint plants and pyrethrin plants on your property. Make sure goats cannot get at it though. Otherwise it will be useless lol. Reason i say plant them is because peppermint is not liked by the bug world and acts as a deterrent to them as well as rodents. Pyrethrin is used in flea and tick killers to kill well fleas and ticks but also works on other bugs as well. It is a pretty red daisy with a yellow face. Time to start putting in a few small flower gardens around your camper and shed. But keep the goats away from it.

So glad you are fever free for three days, and you are changing your diet helping yourself

Happy anniversary you two! 🎊 Lyle, I am so glad to hear you are feeling better. 1-3 years to get over it? Will that be where you can eat red meat and dairy again. I sure hope you will eventually be able to eat your beloved cheese burgers and steaks again.

@Shanon K&S Get Out You are so strong for Kyle. God Bless You.

Wow !! Before you unwrapped the dungarees,I said to myself,”I bet that’s going to be a pair of dungarees” I think that might mean that I’m a bit of a white witch.That’s not something that I would choose to be.!!! Greetings from Wolverhampton in The West Midlands, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.xx

I'm still holding out for the official doctor diagnosis. I'm hoping it will be a better diagnosis and better news. ❤❤

So glad you know now and can take care of your self.

Kyle, you look great in overalls. Shannon, you did well with his gifts. Shannon, I love your gift, the knife. You need to get a pair of overalls too, ya'll look so cute.

Prayers going up blessings coming down

Glad it's not Lyme's, my niece has been fighting it for years. It's bad and she's still pretty sick all the time. Love your videos, keep em coming.

Love the gifts y’all gave each other. Praying Kyle for a quick recovery.

The goats are getting along great. Spruce is so cute. Prayers Kyle 🙏❤️🙏take care 🙏❤️👍⭐️😊

Continued prayers for you both ❤❤❤❤❤❤

My husband and I will celebrate 43 years together this September, and we are just like you, are together all day, we worked together, best friends and if we want something we buy it. We don't celebrate gift giving either, even on Valentine's Day. We are very happy together and hope your togetherness lasts longer than ours has/will. It's so sad to hear of this illness. Your love will help you thru it. (Still loving how you talk as if you were the animals. It is so unique and cute!) Hugs from Tina

Thank you for the great video sending prayers your way🙏

Aww how cute !!! I used to always buy my dog Snoopy stuffed toys. I’m a HUGE Snoopy nut and collector . I have a ton of Snoopy things and I just love seeing dogs play with their own Snoopy toy.

Love the anniversary gifts. Not a lot of romance but so needed. (MAYBE THAT IS ROMANTIC)

Your gifts are great. you both need them.

Sebding hugs n prayer 🙏🤲 glad your feeling a bit better 💞🤗 farms looking good 🙏🧡💚🌹🙃⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

As for those feedstorage tubes Waite till your raccoons learn how to open them jihad one and kept cat food in it. The raccoons unlocked the lid and turned it off. Then carried the container off .I just found it last year after three years. They also know how to pop the pull tabs they now put on food cans.

You both just take care of each other. Those beautiful animals to ❤

Praying for you.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

So glad y'all caught it early. God bless y'all.

Spruce is doing clean up detail of the feed. He is such a great helper.

Praying for your recovery. Thank you for sharing the importance of watching and taking it seriously. Steps may not be what you planned but it is life-changing situation. Stay safe Shannon.Being overly cautious is now front and center. Blessings to Shady Acres 🙏🙏

💕💕💕 sending love and hugs from the UK 💕💕💕💕💕

He really wants the new knife. You can tell by the way he is talking about it and looking and drooling over it.

Nice gifts you two exchanged! ❤

At least you still had your knife! Prayers for health and safety!🙏❤🙏

Kyle sorry for your illness. Thank God for the good friend who gave you the heads up. Please you and Shanon take care of yourselves.

YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING

Hope you get well,love your expressions of Spruce ! Neat gifts! Your guys are so much fun!

I'm praying for you, Kyle, allergies in general suck but I can't imagine dealing with that one. On the bonus side, you're doing a great job of telling people what to watch out for and to get right on to finding out what's going on. So important with most tick-borne illnesses. You seem to be on the right path, for figuring out what you can and can't eat, so stay strong and God bless you all. I'd love to know what Herc's thinking was with stealing Spruce's hay was.

Praying for your healing!🙏🏻💖

Blue looks like she’s going to perform a puppet act in her shed window. Chad, those overalls look great. Shannon did great!

Overalls are the real deal. Not T shirt or underwear. So cooling and natural. You’ll love it.

You two are so cute together, you have true love for each other. Spruce’s little horns are growing, just like him🥰 Hang in there and take care of yourself. Blessings to you both.❤️❤️

Hope you get feeling better Kyle

Oh No Kyle, I'm so sorry you got this from a tick bite! I've had to deal with Lyme disease 8x's so far! There is always damage left behind even if caught early and go on antibiotics. Praying for you! Hurry up little guineas and turkeys, Kyle and Shannon really need you.

Southern farm girls carry pocket knives. We use them to trim small limbs, weed eater string, peel fruit, etc. My Daddy even used his when he grafted fruit and pecan trees.

You guys are a hoot! We are literally crying with laughter! We even wondered if Karl would want to swap knives - and then he offered! 😂😂 Love your interaction and honesty with each other! We never buy presents for each other either and for the same reasons. 😍

Need to wear them and take a picture.
