The lone star tick is known to trigger an allergic reaction when humans eat red meat.

Researchers at the University of Michigan developed nanoparticles to treat the bug's bite.

The researchers say the key is negating the effects of a sugar that is commonly found in meat and in the tick's spit.

An estimated 450,000 Americans have developed the allergy, including more than 100,000 since 2010 .

He explained that yanking the tick or pulling it at any other place of its body could cause the insect to regurgitate and cause an infection. Copyright 2024 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
