Show Notes
Kansas State University is actively supporting efforts to cultivate awareness and resilience against AGS – Alpha-Gal Syndrome – a potentially life-changing allergy to red meat and other mammal-derived products, triggered by a bite from the Lone Star tick. K-State professor in the department of entomology, Yoonseong Park, associate professor in animal science and industry, Michael Chao, and Extension assistant professor in food, nutrition, dietetics and health, Priscilla Brenes, are conducting research to better understand the prevalence of AGS in Kansas and the challenges faced by those living with this condition.
