A Tick Bite Made This Hunter Allergic to Meat | Wild Talk | S5 E14
One tick bite turned a hunter and wildlife biologist's life upside down.
Josh Hobbs of Pheasants Forever joins Steve to share his experience with Alpha-gal syndrome, a tick-associated allergy that left him unable to eat red meat, wild game, dairy and other mammal-derived products.
Josh explains the mysterious symptoms that went undiagnosed for months, how he eventually connected his illness to the food he was eating, the surprising everyday products that could trigger a reaction, and how the diagnosis changed everything from hunting and ranch life to eating at restaurants.
He also shares the treatment he recently pursued and what happened when he tried eating steak again for the first time in two years.
Plus, Kate Rundle returns with Kate's Wild Finds for a wild look at bighorn sheep, head-to-head battles and one of North America's ultimate mountain hunting challenges.
