I don't know, as someone who eats a lot of meat the idea of catching a meat allergy from a tick bite is pretty terrifying https://acaai.org/allergies/types/food-allergies/types-food-...

Wow one more weird reason to fear ticks. I wonder why ticks are such effective disease vectors.

You can still eat poultry and fish if you have it. You just can't eat mammals. As someone who's mostly zero-carb, I find it scary too, but it's not a total catastrophe.
