A people-centered approach to supporting the alpha-gal community.
What is Alpha-gal Syndrome?
Caused from the bite of the lone star tick, alpha-gal syndrome is an allergic reaction to galactose-𝞪-1,3-galactose. This results in an allergy to mammalian meat and byproducts.
Alpha-gal syndrome is a tick-borne condition AND a food allergy.
The Impact of Alpha-gal Syndrome
A CDC survey of healthcare providers revealed that nearly 78% had little to no knowledge of AGS.
The CDC estimates that up to 450,000 people in the United States could be living with AGS.
Alpha-Gal Syndrome is currently the tenth most common food allergy in the United States.
