In order to combat “climate change,” scientists suggest spreading a red meat allergy using Lone Star ticks. Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), a red meat allergy, could be used as a climate strategy to reduce the consumption of red meat by the slave class.
Two ethics professors at Western Michigan University’s Homer Stryker MD School of Medicine, Parker Crutchfield and Blake Hereth, have authored a peer-reviewed paper proposing the deliberate promotion of ticks to trigger alpha-gal syndrome (AGS)—a red-meat allergy—to reduce meat consumption and combat climate change. Published in Bioethics, their “Beneficial Bloodsucking” argument frames AGS as a “moral bioenhancer,” asserting that inducing allergies to cattle, pigs, and lambs could ethically “prioritize planetary health over personal choice.”
The controversial stance has drawn sharp criticism, with opponents calling it a dangerous confluence of pseudo-science and ideological overreach.
AGS already affects up to 450,000 Americans, with cases rising due to tick expansion northward. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also warns that this syndrome can lead to fatal reactions via medications, not just food.
Unlike food allergies alone, AGS can cause fatal reactions to common medications containing alpha-gal, such as the cancer drug cetuximab and the anticoagulant heparin. At least 10 deaths linked to alpha-gal reactions have been recorded, most via medical products—not food. –Natural News
“This isn’t just a vegetarian nudge—it’s a drastic limitation on basic human activities,” said allergist Dr. Scott Commins of UNC School of Medicine, whose work shaped AGS research. Unlike voluntary dietary choices, tick-borne allergies impose external bodily harm. Opponents liken it to eugenics or forced vaccination, lacking scientific or public consent. “You can’t ethically engineer plagues,” said ecologist Dr. Durland Fish, a Lyme disease researcher critical of the paper.
There is absolutely nothing moral about this. Creating a horrific disease in humans to manufacture consent is an obvious dystopian idea that should be dead on arrival.
What are your thoughts? Do you agree with the scientists or is this unethical?
