Alpha-gal Syndrome: The Red Meat Allergy
If you have questions about this resource, contact your county Extension office.
Summary
Although alpha-gal or α-gal Syndrome (AGS) is a relatively new condition, ongoing research enhances our understanding of its development and management. Case histories of those with AGS suggest that individuals with multiple tick bites are more likely to develop AGS. Since its identification, the syndrome has been linked to consumption of red meat after a known tick bite. Preventing tick bites is the best way to reduce the risk of developing AGS.
