Alpha gal syndrome. Reading about, because I've never heard of it before. An acquired, so-far untreatable condition that makes people allergic to red meat to varying degrees, up to and including anaphylaxis.
Spread by Lone Star ticks. Kinda like Lyme disease. Does Plum Island ring any bells?
That’s a tough looking 57 year-old.
