If you have been considering going vegetarian, there is a sure way thanks to your local tick. Researchers have discovered that a single bite from a type of Australian tick can make you fatally allergic to mammal meat. The type of meat you become allergic to depends on the animal that the tick was feeding on before you, and ticks love yummy mammals. So, if you're biten by a tick, make sure you don't try to remove it pulling it out, but freeze it or seek professional assistance.
