Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia Webinar: Mammalian Meat Allergy
Thank you to Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia for asking Professor Dr Sheryl van Nunen OAM and Clinical Nurse Specialist Melanie Burk, to be part of their webinar discussing mammalian meat allergy.
Tick bites can cause mild to life-threatening allergic reactions to mammalian meats such as beef, pork, lamb, kangaroo, goat and venison in some people. This type of reaction and the link to tick bites was first recognised and described by Professor van Nunen in 2007. This webinar describes mammalian meat allergy, the relationship to tick bites, how to manage the disease and the latest research.
