Mississippi researchers investigate growing tick-borne allergy to red meat
SUMMARY: Researchers in Mississippi are studying a rising tick-borne allergy to red meat known as Alpha-gal syndrome, which can trigger severe allergic reactions. Case studies, such as Rick Green’s, reveal the debilitating effects, including hives and discomfort from eating beef and potentially being near grilled meat. Alpha-gal is a sugar found in non-primate mammals, and many doctors were initially unaware of this emergent allergy. The CDC estimates hundreds of thousands of cases nationwide, prompting legislative measures. A proposed bill would require clear labeling of packaged foods containing Alpha-gal to help those affected avoid dangerous reactions. There is no cure, but symptoms may subside over time.

The allergy, known as alpha-gal syndrome, affects hundreds of thousands of Americans and is particularly prevalent in the southeastern United States.
