Meat can cause an allergic reaction for some people, despite the belief by some doctors that a meat allergy does not exist.<\/p>\n

Here is a question from Takudzwa about having a reaction to meat:<\/p>\n

My question is that if I eat meat red or white as long the animals has been four legs e.g. beef, pork I react. My body will be full of hives and have a short of breath what cause this?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hives are one of a number of typical allergy symptoms.\u00a0 Shortness of breath is another possible symptom.\u00a0 So it is likely that you are having an allergic reaction to the meat.<\/p>\n

While still relatively rare, a meat allergy is more common than you might think.\u00a0 See this article on meat allergies<\/a> for more details about meat allergy, and also read some of the comments.\u00a0 The shear volume of them is surprising.<\/p>\n

The cause of allergies in general is still not known.\u00a0 There are likely many causes.<\/p>\n

When it comes to meat allergies though, there is a known cause: tick bites.\u00a0 It has been shown that some people who get tick bites may develop meat allergies and delayed anaphylaxis symptoms.\u00a0 Researchers found a link particularly for people with type A or O blood.\u00a0 Apparently people with B or AB blood either do not develop a meat allergy from tick bites, or that this happens much less often.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
