You are right – this is too important not to make people aware of. Here is some basics on this. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/alpha-gal-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20428608

@eclecticzebra I never heard of term “Alpha-Gal” until the article was shared here. I definitely think it is important to share information on uncommon allergies, diseases, and health issues. I have felt like a medical mystery half of my life and I am sure many others here have as well.

This is very interesting indeed. I had always been under the impression that this was a disease of the NE United States. Does anybody know of people who contracted this in Europe – I’ve not seen anything in the literature about this in Europe.

@aweber It is everywhere. https://alphagalinformation.org/where/ My pin is where I contracted it-Virginia. This site btw is THE factual, detailed go to site for anyone who wants. The horrid thing is-doctors do not know it or believe it (silly-there is a blood test!)

@eclecticzebra This sounds like so many afflictions, especially pain. “It’s all in your head” is a common phrase the medical community and others will use. The more people know, they can ASK for a blood test.

Ticks are the worst. I never had any idea how TRULY dangerous these little buggers are until recently!

This would be a great discussion with people that have suffered or know somebody that has (as I do). There can be a lifetime of physical pain associated with undiagnosed or late diagnosed Lyme disease. Not to mention the known neurological effects. I have seen the pain manifested in my friend in his legs, where he cannot walk for a while.

I always wonder how many of those cases also, unknowingly have Alpha-Gal allergy as well 🙁 Awareness is coming, slowly. It’s still far too difficult to find a LLMD so AG has many years behind that, to be a household known allergy. pssst..I HATE TICKS!
