Tick bites linked to sudden meat allergy spreads widely
Doctors report a rise in meat allergies from a Lone Star tick bite, spreading from Texas to the South and East. The reaction stems from alpha-gal in red meat triggering antibodies after tick exposure, causing severe reactions hours after eating beef pork or venison. Cases include Louise Danzig of Montauk and Georgette Simmons near Nashville, with ongoing research at UVA and Vanderbilt showing 2 to 3 new weekly cases and nearly 200 in eastern Long Island practice.
