I heard about this a few years ago. It's the lone star tick and it makes you have an allergic reaction to specific proteins. They are calling it alpha-gal syndrome. This stuff fascinates me because I have autoimmune disorders that showed up after a handful of 'required' vaccines for my college scholarship in the 90s. I nearly died from meningitis that they swear had nothing to do with the vaccines and then 'fired' me as a patient when my mom kept pushing. I have hashimotos thyroiditis where any time my body decides it's sensitive to something it decides to destroy thyroid tissue. I also have MCAS, mast cell activation syndrome, where I become 'allergic' to stuff I'm exposed too much to and get hives, swelling, and vomiting. I can have eggs, just not every day. I have to rotate through three shampoos during the week or I will get hives on my scalp. Just crazy stuff. It all feels man-made to make us suffer and need more pharma just to survive. I have experimented and end up only needing two prescription drugs and one of those is off label. I take a lot of supplements and vitamins to counter the damage that has been done. I have no idea how much it has shortened my lifespan and I certainly don't want to be miserable when I'm older.
