Hello, and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast this week coming to you from the Wardolf Astoria Hotel in central London.
My name is Dan Schreiber, I'm sitting here with Andy Murray, Alex Bell and our special guest, Australian scientist,
author of great named books like House of Carl's Game of Nones, Fifty Shades of Grey Matter, it's Dr.
Carl Krusulnitsky.
Very good pronunciation.
Thank you.
And once again,
we have gathered around the microphones with our four favourite facts from the last seven days and in no particular order,
here we go.
Starting with you, Dr.
Carl.
Yes,
my favourite fact is two people in Sydney every week get bitten by ticks and shortly after become allergic to meat for the rest of their lives.
Now, I'm hyping it up a little bit, they're only allergic to non-primate mammals, but if they have beef, for example,
seven months after the event,
they can then become allergic to meat for the rest of their life and go into the full anaphylactic reaction.
None of this sort of like, I have the vapours, I must lie down, but the full,
I can't breathe, my face is swelling, if you don't not give me adrenaline, I will die.
Anna, as in wrong, and phylaxis to guard, so your body is going into a wrongly triggered immune reaction.
