Ep20. Tick Season, Part 2: Red meat allergy from tick bites

Ticks: little bugs, with big appetites for your blood. They won’t bleed you dry, but it’s what they leave behind that hurts. For this two-part episode of the Sci’More Podcast, Phil and Chris interviewed three tick and tick-borne disease experts to get the scoop on tick safety, Lyme disease, and Alpha-gal syndrome, in which a tick bite can cause a red meat allergy.
