Net Zero advocates propose ticks to induce red meat allergy as climate solution sparking backlash
08/14/2025 / By Willow Tohi
Two U.S. academics propose spreading lone star ticks to induce alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), a red meat allergy, as a climate strategy.
AGS triggers severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, via tick-borne alpha-gal molecules.
AGS now affects up to 450,000 Americans, with cases rising due to tick expansion northward.
CDC warns the syndrome can lead to fatal reactions via medications, not just food.
Critics decry the proposal as reckless, ignoring risks of severe health consequences.
