Bad bite: A tick can make you allergic to red meat

MSN is running this story, and it is scary. It would have to be a total life style change for me if I could no longer eat red meat, pork, venison, dairy, etc.

I sure am glad all of these weird diseases and insect vectored things usually start out on the other side of the country from me and it will take them a while to get here.

What about artificially-flavored frozen dessert product?  There are no meat or dairy components - it's all plastic.

stay safe.

Sounds like a nefarious PETA/ELF conspiracy.

I read an article the other day where some bio ethicist suggested using this virus on people. People being allergic to red meat => less methane => muh globular worming averted. It's good to know what our so-called betters really think of us.

From wiki:

Unlike most food allergies, the alpha-gal allergy will recede with time, as long as the person is not bitten by another tick. The recovery period can take anywhere from eight months to five years.[6][8][10]
