Heck, I got knocked off my bike at age 8 and developed tonsillitis. Whodathunkit?

In reality, we develop and shed allergies all through life. As a kid, I used to be allergic to figs and cantaloupes. But, I could roll through poison ivy with little effect. Not so much anymore though.

“My accountant got Lyme Disease from a tick bite. She said she cannot eat any mammal meat at all. Chicken, fish, that’s about it.....”

Wow! Never heard of that. Hope she finds a solution to her problem. Just a guess on my part, but maybe try eating American Indian food - venison and wild rice soup, buffalo roast, fry bread, Indian tacos.

I’m just speculating. Lived near an Anishinabe rez for many years. Would go hunting and fishing with friends there. They never had food problems caused by ticks, and we lived with ticks up the yahoo, if you know what I mean.

Take care.

“How does buffalo meat compare to beef?”

In my experience, buffalo is more tender and juicy. Beef can be stringy and too chewy for my taste. Realize, though, that this is my personal opinion.

You gotta try it for yourself to form your own opinion. I’d recommend the two-pound buffalo roast. Perfect for you and your sweetie. Specialty grocery stores can order a buffalo roast. The cost? I’m guessing around $30-$40.

Cheers.

My first thoughts exactly. I do not eat beef or pork because my body cannot process the saturated fat and it literally comes out through my pores. I was born that way and had a multitude of skin problems growing up but I never heard of an allergy!

Why would anyone eat a hamburger, when they have a deadly allergy to beef?

you know what’s funny, I always confused soylet green with logans run for some unknown reason. Been doing that for decades. I guess it’s because they were also eating people in that movie also, but didn’t know it.

My former landlord’s wife had this problem. She was fine for decades, got bitten by a tick about 10 years ago and it was bye bye red meat. Her reaction to the smallest amount of red meat, say the size of one slice of pepperoni, would land her in the hospital for a couple of days.
Not an allergy to screw around with.

I no longer step into a McD's, but perhaps the last 2-3 times (on the road, felt had to) always felt sick to my stomach afterwards.

Another angle to this - go to google search for 'mcdonald's meat is people', and ALL the links are debunking. Knowing google, that is a vote that it is true.

And, furthermore, there are tons of articles like this:

I thought McDonalds used ground earthworms?

That was the rumor back in the 1970s....

McDonald’s is your kind of place
They feed you rattlesnakes

French Fries between your toes
Hamburgers up your nose

The last time I went in there
They fried my underwear

McDonald’s is your kind of place

About the worm meat.

It was/is an urban legend and as I recall it was a tacoria in San Diego...

But SNOPES sez it was an urban legend regarding Micky’s and Wendy’s.

I like the tacoria version, but that’s unfair to all the greeeaaattt Mexican Food served in San Diego.

The best Mexican food I ever ate was a walk-in lunch counter in Burlingame wjich was a converted “der Wienerschnitzel”

Speaking of converted “der Wienerschnitzel” A-frames, there’s one one on Warwick in Newport News that was a “Viking Burger” and bears a strong resemblance to a der Wienerschnitzel structure.

I saw several places in Indiana, Illinois, etc. that were raising Beefaloes. Don’t know if the beef breeding would affect the meat. Looked more like buffaloes than beef.

“raising Beefaloes”

Yeh, heard about that. Can’t say the blend was tasteful or accepted by consumers.

Have you tried beefaloe?

Mick D’s is not beef. Or any other recognizable meat. 🤷🏻‍♂️

No, but several friends swore by it. I don’t know about the effect on someone with an allergy to beef.

Okay, got it. I’ll probably add it to my “things to try out” list.
