minus-square@reddig33link16•1 year agoWasn’t there a disease going around that made people sick when eating red meat?
minus-square@shalafilinkEnglish32•1 year agoIt’s from a tick bite, not something we can spread to one another.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•1 year agoare you suggesting tick-born illness has been weaponized by…? what, the soy milk mafia? do you have any idea how staggeringly, mind-numbingly stupid that sounds?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoNot OP, but since it is feasible, it sounds like it would make a decent movie. I’m thinking something like Red Dawn or an eco-terrorist plot.
minus-square@shalafilinkEnglish3•1 year agoAre… you stoned? I do have to admit I thought about how vegans would love an airborne version. I read too much science fiction.

minus-square@stealthnerdlink13•1 year agoTick bites can cause it. Something about your body building immunity to a protein transferred by the tick that closely matches those found in beef or something like that.

minus-square@shalafilinkEnglish5•1 year agoNot always! Last I heard, it can and does wear off. Might take 6-months, might take years. I gather the effect is so rare we don’t have a ton of data. But I’m often full of shit! Look it up yourself.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•1 year agoYou are probably full of shit every day. Until you visit the loo. So don’t hold it against yourself!
minus-squareRemmocklinkfedilink6•1 year agoFor a non-tick response- Prion contamination resulting in Mad Cow Disease. One meal and your brain eventually rots in moldy cheese.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•1 year agoYep, there is, it spreads though tic bites, and once bitten you will allways get sick after eating red meat.
