https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h63vfzsnqkPretty good special on First Coast News, a man got bit by a tick, later developed symptoms of sweating, fatigue, heart racing, blurred vision then becoming unconscious. Not knowing what the cause was, Doctors thought it was problem with his heart, they prescribed nitro glycerine which was the worse thing you could prescribe for an allergic reaction, the drug caused cardiac arrest, yet he still survived. Still not know what's caused it. His wife searched through the internet for hundreds of hours and even years, eventually came across beef allergy, aka alpha-gal. He stopped eating beef, pork, deer, and lamb including no dairy, now his health is back to normal. Now is this scary or what? That's one hell of a good wife! lol Gotta be hard for a hunter to stop eating red meat... Yikes! I know it would be tough for me...
Man, it also makes me wonder if there's members on this forum that deal with the same fatigue, sweating, heart racing and blurred vision he's talking about
, not necessarily have a borrelia infection, but just this alpha-gal meat allergy. And if they go on a strict diet all their symptoms would disappear, just a thought, I'm just blown away that he wasn't infected with borrelia or some sort of other coinfection, but really, that's probably part of the country where babesia and bartonella isn't as prevalent as the northeastern states. Considering that was probably a Lonestar tick in Florida that bit him.
What's really spooky is when a person called up Coast to Coast AM on the episode with Kris Newby and claimed he doesn't think it's a coincidence that there are scientists out there that want more people on meatless diet because cattle cause more CO2 emissions than even our cars, leading to climate change. Hinting that he thinks the government may have orchestrated this alfa-gal meat allergy in the lone star ticks to reduce climate change. Interesting theory, anyways the call was on the episode of May 13th on C2CAM.
