I had seen an article a few days ago about this, as the subject was trending on Yahoo.

This morning, I'm putting two and two together and just wondering if this could be what I experienced a few days ago.

I have been having anxiety, tightness of the throat, tingling around my mouth/lips and slight breathing difficulties. I have been attributing it to neurotoxins.

I very rarely eat beef, but sometimes have a little.

Earlier this week my husband and I took a little three day trip to East Texas.

We ate at a buffet, and I had a little roast. After leaving the restaurant, we were traveling for a couple of hours to the next town.

About twenty minutes into the trip, I developed tightness of the throat, tingling around my mouth and lips and some difficutly breathing. I positioned the air conditioner vents toward me for more air.

I remember asking my husband if we were gaining in altitude, which neither of us could answer. After returning home, I checked the altitude and found that we were no more above sea level than we had been.

I have gotten anxiety from traveling as a passenger - especially when my husband drives, however, we weren't in a heavy traffic situation at the time.

But the articles about that meat allergy from the lone star tick bites indicated people experience delayed anaphlaxis.

You ever been tested for allergies?

I had the same thing happen last night after eating a little pizza - veggies, pork and beef.

I rarely eat anything other than fish, chicken or turkey. Occasionally, I'll have a little pork or beef - very rarely, though.

I'm just going to abstain from the pork and beef all together - which I had done for years anyway.

Also, not sure if I was bitten by a Lone Star tick. It was a tiny nymph and was black.

Don't have insurance and allergy tests are very expensive!

He won't admit he might have Lyme disease and won't get tested for it, but he's deathly allergic to meat and has to carry an Epi Pen with him at all times. I have no doubt in my mind it's related to tick bites.

Good think I really like turkey and fish.
