Ranchmama Allergic to MEAT ?!

Yup sure enough. Reading up on the subject looks like it is pretty common for the ticks in Arkansas ( where I lived for many years ) to carry this problem and folks become allergic to meat when bitten. 
  Thought I should be tested when I found out I was allergic to pork they used to prepare the blood thinner I took after the cancer surgery. 
    They say you can usually eat chicken and fish but there are no promises. Think I will start with this list to avoid and see what happens first.
   I was looking at this list and the pork allergy is less than the beef which I eat more of. I could see what the pork meds they gave me did so I am just guessing the beef must mess me up a lot more. 
    Sooooooo...... no telling how long this has been going on but if I can avoid these meats maybe I can breath a whole lot better and a few other things!
   Love
Ranchmama
