But apart from being healthy supplements, eating meat may cause allergies too. After eating meat if your nose feels stuffy or begins to flow or you develop a situation of nausea or rash there are acute chances that you have a meat allergy. A meat allergy can develop at any point in life at any age. If you are allergic to one type of meat there are possible chances that you will also be allergic to some others.
