What’s Up Doc? Meat Allergy: Alpha-Gal

Q: Can someone really become allergic to meat because of an insect bite?A: From an insect bite, no (not to my knowledge). But from an arachnid bite (ticks, like spiders and scorpions, are arachnids), yes.Ticks (there are more than 800 species) sometimes carry certain bacteria, viruses and/or other substances in their saliva.
