- _Microft 5y agoNope, you are thinking about alpha-gal allergy there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-gal_allergy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-gal_allergy They are talking about TBE (also known as "FSME" in german speaking countries) instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tick-borne_encephalitis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tick-borne_encephalitis
- junon 5y agoThank you :)
- chinathrow 5y agoWhat joke is this? I am vaccinated against this form of tick born disease but of course I am not allergic to beef.
- tpm 5y agoNot the vaccine. Some ticks now transmit the allergen and cause the allergy in humans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-gal_allergy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-gal_allergy
