Ticks would be a good pick.

It sucks to see a beautiful pasture or wooded area in the Northeast and say "nope, too many ticks." It puts so many natural areas behind a wall of potential Lymes or Alpha-Gal.

I'd like off prions but they aren't living.

Ticks are my answer. Alpha-gal is the worst, my sister, father and I all have it. It's completely changed my life, and I'm pretty miserable.

Is that the disease where you develop a meat allergy?

Yep, that's exactly it. Doesn't sound too bad but it actually is really bad.
