A healthy 47-year-old man from New Jersey died four hours after eating a hamburger at a cookout, and his death remained a mystery until now.

The man’s death is "the first documented anaphylactic death related to AGS where the symptoms started several hours after consuming mammalian meat.”

A 47-year-old man from New Jersey is believed to be the first person to die from a meat allergy triggered by a tick bite.

Researchers at the University of Virginia have confirmed that a New Jersey man died from an "allergic reaction" to meat he developed after being bitten by tick larvae.

Doctors say a 47-year-old man who passed away in the summer of last year, had a severe reaction to a steak after spending a day in the outdoors.
