Screenshot of a YouTube post by the New York Times posted 2 days ago. Text reads: "Brian Waitzel, a 47-year-old JetBlue pilot, went to a barbecue, where he ate a hamburger, at roughly 3 p.m. He returned to his New Jersey home and mowed the lawn for an hour. By 7:20, he was in the bathroom, vomiting. By 7:37, he was unconscious. Soon, his son was trying to resuscitate him. Waitzel was declared dead later that night. The conclusion of an autopsy: “Sudden unexplained death.” Now, more than a year after Waitzel died, a team of doctors say they have found an answer. The physicians linked his death to a growing menace: an allergy to red meat triggered by a tick bite. Read more: https://nyti.ms/4oXFvmR". The text is followed by a photo of Waitzel in the cockpit of a jet, wearing his pitot uniform and smiling.

“Researchers have linked the death of a 47-year-old man in New Jersey to alpha-gal syndrome, which usually starts with a bite from a lone star tick. The man died four hours after eating a hamburger.

A close family friend of ours in Virginia has this and it can be super dangerous. Not just the “red meat” part but that some shots and other medical treatments contain alpha-gal and can be dangerous during procedures.

Nach einem Zeckenbiss entwickelte eine Bayerin plötzlich eine Fleischallergie – das sogenannte Alpha-Gal-Syndrom 🥩🚫. Sie musste ihre Ernährung komplett umstellen. Zecken können mehr als nur jucken! 🦠😳 #Gesundheit #Zecken #Fleischallergie #AlphaGal #newz

So, not to make fun of anyone with #alphagal syndrome (I'm sure it sucks; barfing after eating a steak would really suck), but wouldn't it be really ironic if we all stopped eating #beef and #pork because of #ticks and halted #climatechange that was the cause of the ticks spread?

For your readers, to be very specific...

"It causes mild to severe allergic reactions to red meat, such as #beef, #pork or #lamb. It also can cause reactions to other foods that come from mammals, such as #dairy products or #gelatins."

Note that this list does not include chicken or fish.

"Lone star ticks have taken advantage of rising temperatures... to expand from their heartland in the south-east US to areas previously too cold for them"
Being bitten by the #ticks "can provoke a severe [allergic] reaction to red meat, such as breaking out in hives"

🔸Probably only a matter of time for lone star ticks to turn up in #Japan as inadvertent "imports" (and meat drops off the menu)🤔

It's Food Allergy Awareness Month! While peanuts and shellfish often take center stage, alpha-gal syndrome is a tick-borne food allergy that deserves attention too. https://sagealphagal.com/food-allergy-awareness/ #AlphaGal #FoodAllergyAwareness #FAAW

Forget the election — the most polarizing topic in America for the rest of this month is candy corn! 🎃
