I have had lyme disease which is pretty bad but that right there sounds like a special kind of nasty. Sorry for your loss (meat).
How are you supplementing your diet, man needs protein ? I use whey protein.

Thanks for sharing. I will use repellent from now on.
To share what info I'm aware of. It comes from getting bit by a lone-star tick and consuming red meat shortly after being bit. I have heard that if you do find one on you to give it a couple days before you eat redmeat and you should be good to go.

Someone needs to genetically engineer a pig born in an egg so this man can have bacon again. Life without bacon is almost not worth living.
Thanks for all the comments guys.
I am still mourning the loss of bacon, as well as the Flos filet at Longhorn. LOL!
This allergy is a fairly new discovery, so it's not known if certain people are more prone to develop it than others. As a kid, I was ALWAYS in the woods so I have been getting tick bites all my life, but never had any problems until I was in my 30's.
Then, after I started getting outbreaks, they would only happen every 5 or 6 months, even though I was eating meat pretty much every day. This, along with the fact that the attack occurs 4 to 6 hours after you eat meat, made it impossible for me to figure out what was going on.
Oh, and there are different levels of severity to this allergy. Some people can't have mammal meat or ANY dairy products. I guess I'm lucky in the fact that dairy hasn't caused me any problems.
And to the guy asking about protein intake...
I can still eat any animal that was hatched from an egg, so fish and chicken are still on the menu as long as they are not fried in an animal-based cooking oil. I have also found out that lasagna and spaghetti made with ground turkey are actually pretty dang good. I'll go ahead and tell you right now though, turkey burgers and turkey bacon are terrible.

Thanks for the PSA bro I had never heard of such a thing. I can't imagine having to give that up I don't know what I'd do. On the bright side though you'll probably end up much healthier in the long run. Good luck!
