I'm all for eating less red meat, but I'd rather do it myself than rely on an deadly autoimmune response that might also kill me if I have a slice of buttered toast (or anything made from mammal proteins, for that matter), or carageenan, a seaweed-derived thickener.
Edit: also, fuck ticks in particular. They also can carry Lyme which is hard to diagnose and, for many, forever life-changing, and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, which can outright kill you.
Well, you're only one animal, and you might die if you get it, but if you don't, lots of animals for sure won't need to die.
