Meat allergy on the rise worldwide, study identifies cause

More and more people are developing an allergy to meat. According to recent research, the cause of this is known, as reported by the Nieuwsblad. The allergy is said to be related to a certain tick bite.

The tick would transmit a substance that causes people to react allergically to meat. This phenomenon had been suspected for some time, but it has now been scientifically substantiated. The allergy occurs mainly in people who live in areas where the tick is common.

The allergy can cause serious reactions, such as itching, swelling, and breathing problems. It is not yet clear how to completely prevent or treat the allergy. The Nieuwsblad advises people living in risk areas to be cautious about tick bites.
