Tick Bites Triggering Deadly Meat Allergies on Australia's East Coast

Mammalian meat allergy, a condition caused by tick bites, is becoming an increasingly serious health concern along Australia's east coast. The allergy develops after a person is bitten by a tick, which can trigger a severe immune response to red meat. Affected individuals may experience dangerous allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, after consuming mammalian meat products. Health experts warn that public awareness of this condition remains critically low despite its growing prevalence in the region.
