    Thanks to the common paralysis tick, also known as Ixodes holocyclus, more than 800 people around Sydney’s northern beaches have developed a dangerous and otherwise extremely rare allergy to mammalian meat.

    The paralysis tick earned its name and reputation because of the often-fatal effect its bite has on domestic pets. Most humans don’t suffer any particular ill-effects from an Ixodes holocyclus bite. But in some people, the combination of tick proteins and a mammalian protein, injected in the tick’s saliva as it bites for a blood meal, are enough to trigger a potentially life-threatening allergy.
    Similar cases are also turning up along Australia’s east coast, in parts of the United States and in Europe, but Sydney has the dubious honour of being the hottest of hot-spots for this strange allergy.
    Seems to be in the US too. Not the tick, but similar pathogenic transmission.

    I don't know if I would trust the BBC for a story that makes you allergic to meat.
    The BBC has an agenda similar to a Obama liberal. Global Warming, Vegan eating etc. etc.
    How can you trust a network that let the cast of the best auto show in the world "Top Gear"
    take a walk to Netflix....

    That doesn't make sense.

    How does the "agenda" change the science or what the doctors said?
