As we head into the weekend, a new report from CIDRAP (Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy) highlights just how unique—and severe—Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) can be. 📈🌲
Unlike typical food allergies, AGS reactions are triggered hours after eating red meat or mammal byproducts, often waking people up in the middle of the night with severe hives or GI distress. Researchers estimate hundreds of thousands of Americans are affected—and primary transmitter Lone Star tick populations continue to thrive across our area. 🏡🐕
