    He has whats called an alpha-gal allergy, that’s what this is. It’s spread by ticks and it can be treated with great success using Chinese medicine.

        Several practitioners are having a lot of success testing it as an allergy, which it is. Mods deleted my commment but look it up, I have a family member who practices Chinese medicine and acupuncture in the US and treats people will alpha gal all the time.

          My cousin got acupuncture treatments for alpha gal a couple of months ago. She went out for a steak after her last session and wound up in the hospital.
