Mammalian meat allergy is an allergy to a sugar molecule found in most mammals triggered in some by a tick bite.
Preliminary findings from CSIRO research indicate that nationally case numbers of mammalian meat allergy have increased by 40 per cent annually since 2020, suggesting this is a growing health concern in parts of Australia.
CSIRO researchers are looking at the link between mammalian meat allergy and increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
