Tick Bites Can Cause Severe Allergic Reactions to Eating Red Meat

News Link
I ran across this article while researching spider bites. I had a bite on my leg 10 days ago and have had an allergic reaction that continues to cause pain and swelling in my lower leg. I've been to the doc and it is not infected. There is very little information about allergic reactions to bug bites, so I found this article with this unheard of effect from a bug bite. It was a lone star tick, which is not native to Colorado but good to know if you visit Texas.
