So who is going to breed these and seed them on cattle ranches?

They already do that by themselves. Long grass and cattle are perfect tick breeding ground

It isn't an allergy to all meat though... the meat from primates are safe for people with Alpha-gal Syndrome. Time to invest in monkey farms.

Lol you know that the freaks will probably just start eating people.

Meh more ticks here as well, the mosquitoes that transmit dengue fever are also here now. I love climate change 😀

Maybe a meat cessation drug can be derived from them. A meat Zyban.

I don't see the point in trivializing a serious, potentially life-threatening allergy just because another tick-borne disease (also prevalent in the same country) is worse. Plenty of excellent reasons to complain about the US and its citizens, but this post is pointless and petty.
