    I’ve never been to the Arctic but the same thing happened to me. I don’t think I was bitten by a tick but all of a sudden I started getting sick after eating red meat. Cutting it out of my diet fixed that issue. It’s been about 1.5 years since then and I’ve cut all meat out of my diet. It’s nice having a healthy digestive cycle but there are some things I miss and the plant based meat alternatives don’t always do it for me.
