What is behind the spread of a mysterious allergy to meat?

Lol. My coworker who basically lives on meat alone and is practically obsessed with meat, she loves it so much (she apparently has some kind of taste disorder when all greens taste really bitter and sour to her, so she only eats meats and carbs) is absolutely terrified of this tick. I think if she got this, she'd die of devastating malnutrition, lol.

If she is eating meat all the time, she must have a big grocery bill.  Ticks are bad where I live.

This is the 35+ year old co-worker who still lives at home with her parents rent and bill free so she can just spend her whole salary on clothes, cosmetics, travel, and being a meat-centric foodie. She doesn't have to worry about her grocery bill at all.

That's nice if you want to live with your parents.  Myself, I prefer being on my own.

Living with her parents isn't the bad part. It's the leaching off of her parents that I have no respect for. She makes more money than I do, but is unwilling to provide for herself because she just wants to pamper herself until she finds a husband who will support her and shower her in luxury instead of her parents. It's pathetic IMHO.

I see the type of person she is.

as we all are, she's a product of her upbringing. these people don't turn out like that because they wanted to. they turned out like that because their parents gave them everything they wanted growing up and that's how they learned to exist.

Usually I would agree with you, but that actually isn't the case here at all. She's a child of Chinese-Malaysian refugees, and she grew up dirt poor, moving from tiny apartment to tiny apartment for years, basically raising her younger sister when she was still a child herself (her younger sister is not a lawyer, married, and living in a different province - she couldn't get out of that household fast enough). Eventually her parents found a foothold and built themselves up to the comfortable middle class, but not until they lived poor for a pretty long time. I'm not sure why she turned out to be unwilling to take care of herself and so solely obsessed with clothes and beauty products, or why she managed to turn out so lacking in a sense of independence. You'd think she would have turned out the exact opposite. She kind of a weird lady all around, lol.

if the parents are still allowing her to suckle from their financial teet, then yes, she is a product of her upbringing. I wasn't claiming she was child of privlege, just a child who was not told "no" if "yes" was an option.

Well they haven't kicked her out obviously. Although they do keep asking her to fucking pay some bills. She won't, and she shamelessly tells me she just ignores the requests. I think they let her stay because her old granny lives there too, and 3 dogs, so they kind of need a warm body who knows how to drive a car. She does truck granny around when needed, and I don't think her mom knows how to drive, so....

Hmmmmm woman that loves to eat meat looking for a husband...what is taking her so long?

Hilarious!

She is actually dating someone - he seems to be providing her with enough material goods to please her, lol. He took her on a trip to Asia last month, with first class flights, so that got him in her good books. She told me she required a really expensive ring from him if he proposes, or else she'll decline ..... It took all my willpower not to call her out on that little attitudinal atrocity, but I managed, lol.

She better put out on an hourly basis.
