Summary

When national champion football player and firearms instructor Richard Shinn went turkey hunting one day in rural Alabama, he didn't know that day would change his life forever. Upon hearing a turkey call out, Richard didn't adequately bug-spray himself, as he was in a hurry to get into the woods. Later, soon after eating pork ribs, a near-death allergic reaction sent him to the emergency room. Richard was now severely allergic to red meat due to a single lone star tick bite. How did this happen and what can be done? Hear the emerging science and mystery behind alpha-gal syndrome on this episode of Rick & Bubba University.
