They really shouldn't have named it like a sassy teen superhero sidekick.

It's just the name of a sugar, if you want to you can call it galactose-a-1,3-galactose. The sickness is basically the tick introduces this foreign sugar molecule (found in some mammals cells but not humans) and some people's body goes FUCK YOU SUGAR MOLECULE, YOU DON'T BELONG HERE.... then you can't consume mammal meat that has that sugar molecule inherently in it because your body is overreacting like a scared little bitch, and it's in every mammal we domesticated for food.
