tick borne disease that makes you allergic to meat
Alpha-gal allergy Bites from certain ticks, such as the lone star tick in the US, which can transfer this carbohydrate to the victim have been implicated in the development of this delayed allergic response which is triggered by the consumption of mammalian meat products.[4] Despite myths to the contrary, an alpha-gal allergy does not require the afflicted to become a vegetarian, as poultry and fish do not trigger a reaction.[5]
Chickenpox Why the term was used is not clear but it may be due to it being a relatively mild disease.[14] It has been said to be derived from chickpeas, based on resemblance of the vesicles to chickpeas,[14][71][72] or to come from the rash resembling chicken pecks.[72] Other suggestions include the designation chicken for a child (i.e., literally 'child pox'), a corruption of itching-pox,[71][73] or the idea that the disease may have originated in chickens.[74] Samuel Johnson explained the designation as "from its being of no very great danger".[75]
