Our boy, 4yrs now, was allergic to milk as a baby, and soy. Not lactose intolerant either, allergic, pooped blood. Formula was super expensive. He no longer is allergic as far as dairy but if he eats a nutella sandwich he poops blood so we get him the peanut butter chocolate spread, fine with that.
He asked Mom if she'd get the flavor stuff for coffee, she grabbed hazelnut flavor, his eyes about bugged out 'NO Mom! I can't eat that!'
Lol, smart little bugger, probably doesn't even have hazelnut in it. She got vanilla caramel flavor instead to make him happy, we don't like the French vanilla.

Saw something a few days ago that said that red meat allergy is becoming more common in some parts of the US, and blamed it on the lone star tick. According to these folks, if a tick bites an ungulate and then bites a human, a certain protein from the ungulate can get transferred into the human's bloodstream, resulting in an allergic reaction if the human eats meat.

Quote: that is something I will do use the fat from bacon or another meat
red or white quite often I will use the oil from chicken I fried I use egg to hold the batter on or the such
add those few eggs with 1/2 and 1/2 after the fact and give it to the dogs for dinner the next day
when I do breakfast for dinner if I make french toast they get the eggs in bacon oil

I looked this tick up on Web MD. It said that the tick does not have to bite any think to cause the reaction. It naturally has the stuff in it. Anytime the lone star tick bites a person, it can cause them to become alergic to a sugar that is in meat.

Quote: Thanks, Ron. I was half asleep when I was watching the clip; I remember the reference to alpha-gal, but didn't catch that it was a sugar, not a protein.

Your Welcome!

Of course the problem is much worse that way.

I've heard of that Bunnylady. Having had Lyme twice I keep pretty up to date on tick borne infections. So far I have been okay as far as not developing a meat allergy. Dang but I ain't allergic to everything else on earth with the exception of dogs, but not meat...at least so far.
