I was bitten by a tick and the area around the bite became inflamed, so I went to a doctor to test for Lyme. The test came back positive for alpha-gal syndrome.

It's a weird allergy. They think more people have it than are diagnosed because it mostly presents like IBS. There's different levels of safe foods. So milk has the least allergen, meat has more, and organ meat has the highest amount. So if I have milk, my tummy is a little upset later on.

I've no idea what happens if I eat the other stuff though. I've heard of people that didn't know they had the allergy their whole lives, until one day they tried beef liver and went into anaphylaxis from the high concentration of allergen.
