An American woman says she developed a severe allergy to red meat after being bitten by a Lone Star tick has reignited online debate around Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), a rare but medically recognised condition linked to tick bites.
The unidentified woman said she could “no longer eat meat” after developing the condition.
Commentators referenced comments previously made by World Economic Forum (WEF) globalists about future food consumption trends, which included deliberate infestation of ticks to force populations off a natural meat diet.
AGS occurs when a person develops an allergic reaction to alpha-gal, a sugar molecule found in most mammals but not humans, after exposure through a tick bite. According to medical experts, the saliva of the Lone Star tick can trigger the immune system to produce antibodies against alpha-gal, leading to allergic reactions when consuming beef, pork, lamb, dairy products or other mammalian-derived substances.
Symptoms can range from hives and stomach pain to severe anaphylaxis, with treatment focused primarily on avoiding trigger foods and products.
The social media post also included allegations suggesting ticks could be deliberately spread, describing such actions as “crimes against humanity”.
Health authorities in the United States have previously warned about the growing number of Alpha-gal syndrome cases in areas where the Lone Star tick is commonly found.

This is exactly what the World Economic Forum made speeches about as a possibility to get the population to stop eating beef
