Alpha-gal syndrome from a tick bite is affecting half a million and growing in the mid-Atlatic to Southern states. It makes you allergic to red meat with stomach problems, hives, joint pain, etc.
Don't diagnose yourself. Even doctors don't know much about it.

Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is a serious, potentially life-threatening allergic condition. AGS is also called alpha-gal allergy, red meat allergy, or tick bite meat allergy. AGS is not caused by an infection. AGS symptoms occur after people eat red meat or are exposed to other products containing alpha-gal.
