I have known about the lonestar tick problem for a long time but apparently this is the first case of it actually causing anaphylactic shock.

From the post:

>A college professor suffered a near-fatal allergic reaction to barbecue meat in what is believed to be one of the first cases of its kind. Kansas State professor Brian McCornack went into anaphylactic shock and was rushed to the ER hours after eating steak that was cooked on an outdoor grill. The devastating complication occurs when the body releases a flood of chemicals in response to an allergen, in this case a compound in red meat. Blood pressure drops suddenly and the airways narrow, preventing sufferers from breathing. It can kill in as little as 30 minutes.
