Why do some people think there are people who are allergic to beef and poultry?

Nobody is allergic to either beef or poultry. If that was possibly, you definitely won't be allergic to both beef and poultry. Why do people even bother lying to others about their fake allergies?? That's like being allergic to salt or water. It's not possible. And the symptoms they claim to be allergic reactions are not symptoms of a food allergy anyway. However, I do know there are a few people who allergic to pork and shellfish.

Funny how there aren't any "lactose intolerant" starving people in Africa isn't it? Most of these people are full of shyte. It's a product of living in a country with too much food.
Why can people be allergic to pork and/or shellfish but NOT beef or poultry? That makes no sense.
what would possibly be gained by having a "fake" allergy? How do you know this person is lying to you? Allergy is caused by a defect in the immune system. The body does not properly identify benign (harmless) proteins and instead reacts to these proteins as evil enemy invaders intent on death and destruction. You can certainly be allergic to any animal protein, be it from fin fish, shell fish, poultry or other animal. There are people that are allergic to the proteins in eggs but not chickens. Why do you think an allergic reaction to poultry would prevent allergy from beef? FYI allergy to water is extremely rare but possible check out the link below
You are very uninformed. I am allergic to poultry, but not other types of meat. Why do you think an allergy to pork exists, but not an allergy to poultry? Your logic does not make sense.
