Have you experienced itching after eating bison?

Posted by seapen @seapen, 1 day ago

Both my husband and I experienced itching after eating bison. We do not have the same reaction to other red meats, including venison and moose. Have you had that experience? Any idea what causes it?

@seapen There might be a nutritional component in the bison meat that is not present in other red meats. Have you looked into that idea? And curiosity on my part leads me to ask, is the bison you are consuming wild range bison, or farm raised? Their diet may contribute to a component that reacts with you.

Here is what WebMD has to say about bison meat: https://www.webmd.com/diet/health-benefits-of-bison-meat
And an interesting article from Check my health in the UK!: https://uk.checkmybodyhealth.com/blogs/intolerances-allergies/buffalo-allergy-signs-symptoms-and-alternatives?srsltid=AfmBOoqMM4UdfETA2PWvGQiyNvky5Xhe9U7_EuWGy5e16qKc57NPzXvy

Apparently a bison allergy is a real condition experienced by some people.
