pork-cat syndrome

see also:

• allergy and hypersensitivity reactions
• anaphylaxis
• tick-induced mammalian red meat allergy (MMA) / alpha-gal syndrome

• some people with cats develop an allergy to eating pork as the allergic response to the albumin produced from the cat's liver cross-reacts with albumin in pork creating a acute allergic reaction soon after eating it
• this is in contrast to the 3-8hr post-prandial delay allergic reaction one sees in tick-induced mammalian red meat allergy (MMA) / alpha-gal syndrome
