One Response to the hamburger incident, or how a tick bite made me allergic to meat

  1. Hello Helen,
    Thank you for the article in Discovery. I found it after doing a search on allergy and tick bites. I developed the same reaction living in chapel hill ten years ago, but never new how it began. I got a clue listening to the Graedon”s talk show on NPR a couple of weeks ago, which inspired my search. Please email me and I will tell you more about my experience, my recipe for turkey burgers and ask some questions about the nature of this rare phenomenon.
    Thanks again, Bob (also living in Durham)
