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.

SUMMARY: The AJ Holloway Complex Center is nearing completion, with an opening ceremony planned soon. After extensive renovations, which included the installation of new LED lights and artificial turf in all three sports complexes—football, softball, and Little League—children are now participating in softball and baseball tryouts. The changes aim to enhance youth sports services in the area, as the previous teams had to relocate during renovations. Coaches expressed enthusiasm over the turnout for tryouts, and the Parks and Recreation Department is excited about the improvements and the upcoming opening festivities next month.
