More than 100,000 people in the U.S. have become allergic to red meat, including venison, since 2010 because of a weird syndrome triggered by tick bites, according to a government report. But health officials believe many more have the problem and don’t know it.
A second report estimated that as many as 450,000 Americans have developed the allergy. That would make it the tenth most common food allergy in the U.S., said Dr. Scott Commins, a University of North Carolina researcher who co-authored both papers published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
