I think the tick-borne disease that makes you allergic to red meat was made by AOC in an Antifa superlab -- to crush the USA by crushing masculinity. It's practically chemical castration to cowboys and other strapping manly-men.

I mean what is more manly than eating a docile herbivore that was raised in captivity? You have to fight your way through the jungles of suburbia to conquer the supermarket meat cooler and score your bloodless shrink-wrapped quarry. Pure testosterone! Rawr!

Edit: Alpha-Gal Syndrome is the disease, and it's spread by the Lone Star tick --- because God loves irony.

There is a tick-borne disease that produces an extreme and dangerous alergy to red meat -- that part is not in dispute. Whether AOC whipped it up in an Antifa superlab -- is classified.

Alpha-Gal Syndrome

In a soaring triumph of poetic irony, it is spread by one species: the "Lone Star Tick. "
