    They don’t have the same sugars in their blood as mammals, the tick borne allergen that makes people allergic to meat only makes them allergic to mammal meat, and really only for a few years

      Depends. There is also a severe version where you get allergic to all animal cells, so including milk and eggs. I think there’s a vegan who created this tick after years of development in their basement hehe
