Tick ​​bites can make you a vegetarian

The bite can cause the production of antibodies designed to fight the alpha-galactosides contained in beef, pork and lamb. When bitten by a man tries to eat the meat, the body immune response gives enormous power, known as anaphylaxis. If time does not stop the reaction, anaphylaxis leads to death.

Unfortunately, emerged to recognize allergy in advance impossible, so you have another good reason to be afraid of ticks, which are particularly active at this time of year.
