Doctors: Tick-borne illness causing red meat allergy rising locally

In the Tri-State Area, the risk of tick-borne illness is rising, and doctors are seeing more cases of a rare, life-threatening allergy from tick bites. CBS2's Lisa Rozner has one New Jersey man's health battle.

there are those who cannot see, there are those who can see when they are shown, and there are those who see.

They’re after beef make no mistake, this guy should eat bugs

[@jennferrara9554]

Dumb comment. Why should he eat bugs? I have alpha gal syndrome and it sucks. I hope you never have to go through this.

[@rayellebishop8168]

Strange, I ran across a person who has this.

[@SSB_Its_Me_SB]

There was less people going outside in 2021 then in 2022…so more tick bites, they didn’t show what the numbers were going back ten years to appropriately engage how much the number of cases of Lyme disease have gone up… Or is this just a story for the sake of making a story about Ticks

I never had a problem with tick bites until back in 2020 I got bit and no more than day of the tick being on me( found it on my back ) I was sick, weak,fever, and was suffering I headache. The next day went to the Dr and thank god he didn't wait for the test results and startes treatment. He gets the results and it turned out it was rocky mountain spotted fever the tick was infected with rickettsia group bacteria. And i did not enjoy eating and red meat for I would say about 7months. After watching this I may go back to the dr due to the rashes I've had on my legs since then🤔🤔🤔🤔😟

[@tetsuonabiki]

Serious question, are you COVID vaccinated? If so, how many shots and boosters? My mother in law all of a sudden has fatigue and the docs say its Lyme disease but she's never around ticks.

[@msspotme]

One doesn't have to do with the other unfortunately, so sorry about your wife's mom and I would definitely have her go seek another option. I was very fortunate that I didn't test positive for Lyme disease and got treatment early. The rashes turned out to be bites from chiggers and I was highly allergic.

Ozone therapy ?!? Works for Lyme worth trying

[@heeheecats]

I have alpha gal and after going back in june which has been a year and i still have it😭😭😭 and i did have a shock experience

[@HB-oi3lb]

Don't know about this allergy but tick bites are not good. They can be dangerous if not treated correctly or at the right time. I had a bad experience and my stupid GP thought there were no ticks in this country until a professional consultant and a pharmacist corrected her. Even then she was not willing to budge to write a prescription for me. Was not able to see anyone as it was lockdown. All consultation was over the phone or through photos!!

[@jennferrara9554]

It would shock you with some of the comments I have received from doctors regarding ticks. Sorry you had to go through this.

[@theghostofsw6276]

Yeah....and what is the "vaxx status" of all these cases? I bet you I could tell.

[@Ketofit62]

Fraud

[@jennferrara9554]

Not a fraud. I have AGS. It’s a terrible synonym. It makes you terrified to walk in the grass, scared to eat anything because of hidden mammal ingredients that are listed under words like natural flavor. Some is us have reactions just from scents of perfume or mammal products cooking. It’s very scary and sucks!

[@sarahMuahahaha]

It's a real disorder same with morgellons.. which is from ticks/lyme

[@damoos3.]

COVID-19

[@Deb_BG]

Good. Be kind to animals. Don't eat them.

[@sheilathailand1903]

Nice...
