Outrage as scientists push to create ticks that spread red-meat allergies: 'Isn't this biological terrorism?'

A recently unearthed study has set off a tidal wave of outrage after scientists claimed it was 'morally' justifiable to infect people with a virus making them allergic to meat.

Researchers Parker Crutchfield and Blake Hereth from Western Michigan University published an inflammatory paper in 2025, making the case that society had a moral 'duty' to spread ticks that were infected with or engineered to carry alpha-gal syndrome (AGS).

AGS is a real medical condition transmitted to humans through tick bites, causing victims to suffer allergic reactions when eating red meat, including beef, pork and lamb, dairy and other products derived from mammals.

The symptoms can range from a mild case of hives or stomach pain to severe and even life-threatening cases of anaphylaxis - where blood pressure suddenly drops and the person becomes unable to breathe as their airways swell up.

Crutchfield and Hereth claimed that it was morally wrong to eat meat because of the suffering animals endure and the environmental damage that the meat industry allegedly causes.

They argued that the only reason society should not be spreading ticks to infect people with AGS today is that scientists do not currently have an easy and effective way to do it on a large scale.

However, they added: 'But it is feasible to genetically edit the disease-carrying capacity of ticks. If we are right, then today we have the obligation to research and develop the capacity to proliferate tickborne AGS and, tomorrow, carry out that proliferation.'

Their main findings were that promoting genetically modified ticks to spread AGS would make the world better and help people become more 'virtuous' by avoiding meat.

They also claimed that this process would not violate anyone's rights, despite proposing to intentionally infect the population with a life-threatening infection.

I am a vegetarian too. I have been since 1982 except for the almost one year I tried being a vegan. I have my own reasons. I don’t try to convince others to change their diet and I rarely encounter anyone who tries to convince me to change my diet or try to inform me about why I might be wrong. I do get questions sometimes about what i eat and don’t eat, but that’s all.

“I smell Bill Gates’ fingers in this pie”

You’re not wrong, and I don’t think he’s even trying to hide it.

Rob Finnerty on Newsmax has been covering this alpha gal issue for several weeks.

For years Gates has been blathering about eating less meat because ... climate change.

But the WORST is “Bill Gates is a major financial backer of companies developing plant-based and cell-cultivated meat alternatives. He advocates for the adoption of these products in wealthy countries to significantly reduce methane emissions and combat climate change.”

The less meat we eat, the more profit he makes.

And alpha gal isn’t just beef allergy; it the byproducts, too. No dairy. No cheese. (Pizza!)

People with alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) must avoid all mammalian meats (meat from any animal that has fur and gives milk to its young). This includes:
Beef & Veal
Pork & BaconLamb & Mutton
Venison (Deer)
Bison / Buffalo
Goat
Rabbit
Wild game

The only things that can be eaten must have fins and feathers.

If doctors told the TRUTH about red meat . . .

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I have never had a discussion with any doctor about red meat. So-called experts on diet, etc, disagree with one another a bit much for me and change their minds a bit too often for me to pay them any attention.

[VTenigma]

I would like to do more than sue them. They are making me think not nice thoughts.

[rottndog]

Any laboratory conducting such research needs to be completely incinerated...with the researchers locked inside.

If I allowed myself to get exercised over every crazy idea by all the various nutcases among our population today that are promoted on the Internet, I’d be a basket case and have no life anyway.

Let us know how your valiant struggle against them all goes.

The comic books are always right that mad scientists are the enemy of humanity.

Both Lex Luthor and Dr. Sivana ("The World's Maddest Scientist") were changed by DC into powerful businessmen in later years. C.C. Beck, Jerry Siegel and Jerome Shuster got it right the first time.

Sue them all

No, they deserve punishment that's much more permanent than that.

I do not consent to the injection ... especially when delivered through a tick or a mosquito instead of a needle.

Thanks Jane. That is very helpful information for broad distribution.

There are very good remedies out there for ticks & fleas.
Any tick flea we find on our dogs is dead. Your pets are bringing the ticks to you.

Spend the money on the medication for your own sake as well as the pet.

Can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs. Your eventual starvation will just be an unfortunate side effect of saving the planet. They might even put up a plaque.

Its morally justifiable to shoot any bastard who does that.
