Scary stuff.

Tick-borne diseases are scary things, but a red meat allergy would be horrible.

Ticks are about the only insect that really skeives me out. Almost blew up my house once trying to kill one.

Work with a guy that has this.  That has to suck...and save money.

Ah, ticks.  My former boss's next-door neighbor in Idaho contracted Lyme disease, he eventually committed suicide (the neighbor).  
I used to do a lot of photography in northern Minnesota, and was careful to shake off my coat, comb my hair, and do a thorough skin/clothing check before climbing back in the truck; some places I'd have 5 or 6 of the shits crawling around on me.
I only missed one.  You know that 2 square inches of skin in the middle of your back that you can't reach from any angle?  That's where the damn thing burrowed in.  I saw him after a shower in the mirror, and debated whether to go to the Emergency Room just to remove a damn tick.  Eventually was able to grab him with a long-nose pliers; ugh!

Lame thread.  Eat more meat.  I wouldn't care if I was allergic!

Care to put a little wager on that.

Yep, whip up a compound butter on your ribeye with crushed Diphenhydramine and Acetaminophen, power through the hives...friggin' Sallys.

 Diphenhydramine is key!  Hives are easy!

Ticks and fleas are something to watch out around here either.

My brother-in-law and his step brother both contracted this disease.  It was a mystery to the doctors for years before they figured it out.  My BIL would have seizures when he'd eat ground beef......scary stuff!!!
