  1. And my cat likes to drool on me. Ugh! I'd better be extra careful, since Lone Star Ticks have been found in Maine. TY, @LJ ! That's good info to know!

  2. “Researchers have linked the death of a 47-year-old man in New Jersey to alpha-gal syndrome, which usually starts with a bite from a lone star tick. The man died four hours after eating a hamburger. NBC News’ Anne Thompson.” #ISOGG #epigenetics #AlphaGal #tick #allergy #AlphaGalSyndrome #meatallergy #lonestartick #geneadons

  3. Alpha-gal syndrome, an allergic reaction to red meat and even dairy products spread by ticks sounds like mother nature's revenge on behalf of non-human mammals. And if you're not a vegan just one more reason to avoid tick bites especially in the Eastern US - although this problem is spreading and has been found worldwide except Antarctica.

  4. Given the fact that I’ve potentially contracted alpha gal syndrome (will know after blood work comes back tomorrow), I am trying out PLNT’s vegan burger. Not bad at all! #AlphaGal #AlphaGalSyndrome #MeatAllergy #tick

    #EntomologyConsult: a patient gets itchy red reactions when bitten by ticks. They’ve heard that tick bites can lead to red meat allergy so get checked. The blood test looking for IgE to #AlphaGal is positive. Does this mean that they have #AlphaGalSyndrome? (My response below)
