New Jersey pilot first known fatality from meat allergy caused by tick bite

The tragic death of a New Jersey airline pilot from a rare meat allergy caused by a tick bite underscores the growing concern over tick-borne diseases. Similar to the recent near-miss incident involving passenger jets at LAX, where safety protocols were tested, this case illustrates the unforeseen risks that can arise in everyday situations. As public awareness of such allergies increases, it is crucial to understand the broader implications of biodiversity and ecological health, which can influence the prevalence of tick populations and associated diseases.
