MNTA: galactose-alpha 1, 3-galactose caught my eye. This mammalian carbohydrate is thought to be allergen responsible for beef, pork, and lamb allergies theoretically caused by tick bites. It's popping up more frequently on the east coast in recent years. I have this allergy and haven't eaten beef or pork (on purpose) in nearly 4 years. Thanks for tolerating the tangent.
