Meat Allergies from Ticks

This week we read an article about a young woman getting bitten by a tick and weeks afterward coming up with an allergy to meat. She ate a hamburger coming back from a trip and when she arrived home basically went into anaphylactic shock. She is a southern girl like me and hey there's no denying we love our meat.

I could not imagine a world without meat. Humans are made to be carnivores. They're exceptions like people who are vegetarians but they made the choice not to eat meat for whatever reason in their life. This is extremely rare but cases are usually limited to the South Eastern United States and Australia. She has almost no idea how she got this meat allergy other than the fact she got bitten by a Lone Star tick.

This must have been really puzzling for her. I mean to go away for a couple of weeks and then come back and not be able to eat something you love must come as unusual. There is probably a lot of stress about what you can and can't eat and eating things that are still good for you and will give you the nutrients you need to live a healthy life.

I don't really feel anything about this article in the sense that it was just and article and it didn't really give me any feeling.
