Expert discussions with Paul Loggerstead
Why does wine give you a headache?
Some people react to wine far more than to other drinks, and not always because of the alcohol. Fermentation leaves behind histamines, sulfites and tannins, which can trigger headaches and flushing in sensitive people. That is a real effect. It is also a different question from whether the alcohol is doing you harm.
Can a tick bite make you allergic to red meat?
A tick bite can leave some people allergic to red meat and other mammal products. The reaction is delayed by hours rather than minutes, which is why it is so often missed. This is one person's experience of it, not a study.
