Contractable allergy to meat

Seems like whenever I find a good reason to go outside more, I come across an even better reason to stay the hell inside.

Lone Star tick bites suspected of causing meat allergies in victims.

Weird.

Now they just need to find a tick that makes me allergic to alcohol.

The good news is that the ticks themselves are still perfectly edible.

Hmmmmm... this could really sell to those people who want to quit meat but lack the willpower - all those wannabe vegetarians.
