minus-squarestealthnerd@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·7 months agoTick bites can cause it. Something about your body building immunity to a protein transferred by the tick that closely matches those found in beef or something like that.
minus-squareSuiXi3D@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up8·7 months agoThere’s a kind of tick that, once it bites you, causes you to be deathly allergic to red meat from that point forward.
