CDC Warns Red Meat Allergy Caused By Ticks An ‘Emerging Public Health Concern’

Authored by Jack Phillips via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that red meat allergies caused by certain types of ticks is an “emerging public health concern” after two studies found that the phenomenon is on the rise.

Alpha-gal syndrome, or AGS, is a serious and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that comes after people eat red meat or consume products that have alpha-gal, a type of sugar found in most mammals, according to the CDC.

The syndrome is caused by the lone star tick, which can transfer alpha-gal into an individual’s body. As a result, the body can develop an immune system response to the sugar whenever one consumes it.

The lone star tick, or Amblyomma americanum, can be found across the southeastern and eastern United States as well as Mexico and parts of Canada. The tick has a single spot on its back, earning it the “lone star” name. It’s also known as the northeastern water tick or the turkey tick.

Unlike deer ticks, the lone star tick has a smaller chance of transmitting Lyme disease. However, it can transmit a range of other diseases to people such as monocytotropic ehrlichiosis, tularemia, and southern tick-associated rash illness. There have also been reports that it is a vector the heartland virus.

The tick generally lives in wooded areas, namely where white-tailed deer reside. It can also be found in areas between grassy and forested ecosystems, using thick underbrush or high grass to attach to its victim—like the deer tick or other ticks.

“The number of suspected AGS cases in the United States has increased substantially since 2010, and states with established populations of lone star ticks are most affected, although suspected AGS cases were also identified in areas outside of this tick’s range,” the CDC said in a report this week.

As for the AGS meat allergy, it can manifest as anaphylaxis—or a life-threatening allergic reaction characterized by a sudden constriction of airways and a drop in blood pressure, according to the National Institutes of Health. Researchers say that unlike allergic reactions to other foods, which are generally immediate, AGS reactions can occur three to six hours after eating red meat.

AGS symptoms can include a rash, hives, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, shortness of breath, stomach pain, and heartburn. Symptoms can be mild to severe, officials have said.

“The burden of alpha-gal syndrome in the United States could be substantial given the large percentage of cases suspected to be going undiagnosed due to non-specific and inconsistent symptoms, challenges seeking healthcare, and lack of clinician awareness,” Dr. Johanna Salzer, an author with two CDC studies, said in a statement. “It’s important that people who think they may suffer from AGS see their healthcare provider or an allergist, provide a detailed history of symptoms, get a physical examination, and a blood test that looks for specific antibodies (proteins made by your immune system) to alpha-gal.”

Between 2010 and 2022, about 110,000 cases of AGS have been officially identified, it said. But the actual number of AGS cases in those 12 years or so might be as high as 450,000, said the CDC.

No way they could have made that germ / bug in a lab , right ?
Just a pure coincidence that not being able to eat red meat fits perfectly into the controller / globalists publicly stated plans and agenda !

If you eat the ticks you gain immunity to the made up beef allergy.

If there is a beef allergy, it is most likely something they are doing to muck up the cattle….vaxxes, feed additives…

why this article appeared when I googled tick bites after pulling two off from this 4th of July’s camping trip is, idk . .

Author Johanna Salzer from the parasite government agency who could probably suck a gold ball through a garden hose, and likely was inspired about writing something she knows about from her years of experience of sucking, has as much credibility as hunter the coke head’s plea bargain

Actually, they have already openly genetically modified pigs (approved 2020) to get around this ‘allergy’. Whether they have just known about it for a long time, or they created it, who knows. Awful convenient though.

This will take some time, but is worth the time:

Alpha-Gal Syndrome and Ticks: A False Trail?

Third paragraph:
Since then, the number of individuals aller­gic to red meat—both adults and children—has continued to climb.6 In the U.S., one specialist sees five new patients a week and reports having treated nine hundred individuals over the past decade.7 The same trend is apparent in numerous other countries—including various European nations, Japan, South Korea, Panama, Brazil, the Ivory Coast and South Africa7—with the result that a lot more carnivores are coming face to face with their “worst nightmare.”

So, what can be gathered from this is that there is a connection to vaccines? Like they are growing a virus in a culture based on mammalian meat of some sort and this is then transferred after they kill or alter the virus and make the vaxx? Something like the parabolic increase in peanut allergies? NAW, that’s unpossible!!! Then blaming some stupid tick for somehow triggering an immune response to a sugar we are already made of… because we are fucking mammals, made of meat. OK then.

My wife’s BFF has had this syndrome for at least a dozen years. She thought it was related to Lyme disease because it all happened after a tick bite.

How long before the Gates of Hell weaponizes it and spreads the ticks all around the world?

Same for me…until I asked God to take dominion over it. I’ve been bitten by ticks at least ten thousand times in my life…so far. Mosquitoes? About the same.

Taking 2 days to digest beef is one thing. Beef making you sick is another situation entirely…and it is God’s good will to cure any and all who ASK.

I bear witness to this truth.

I know a guy who developed this condition (I’m not sure allergy is the right word, but is just used for convenience since most people understand it) after having a tick decide he looked tasty. This isn’t something I blow off as a made-up syndrome, and he’s not vaxxed, so I know it’s not that.

I’m not convinced this is a real thing. I’ll admit I thought I had this myself at one time when this hypothesis was first trotted out. However, in the interim, I defaulted to God’s Mercy and Grace and recovered from my symptoms immediately.
