Meat
According to Richard Lavi, MD, of the Allergy Asthma & Sinus Relief Center in Twinsburg, Ohio, “Anything with four legs can cause a delayed food reaction that doesn’t happen right away like with typical food allergies.”
Even though a lot of people feel very bad after eating meat, allergies usually take between four and six hours to develop symptoms. The animal meat allergy is also known as alpha-gal allergy, and it can be very dangerous for people who have been bitten by a Lone Star tick, commonly found in the southeast United States.
The most common symptoms of the alpha-gal allergy include nausea, cramps, headache, sneezing, rash, and stuffy nose.
