Show Notes
Alpha-gal syndrome, a food allergy triggered by a sugar molecule found in red meats and dairy, is on the rise due to the expanding range of Lone Star ticks. Symptoms, which can range from mild to severe, occur hours after consumption, often leaving people confused about the cause. Diagnosis involves a blood test, but false positives are common. Prevention and management are key, with better awareness and new treatments expected in the future.
