137: Alpha Gal Syndrome - the "Meat Allergy"

Food Allergy Awareness Week Epsiode Due to successive tick bites, Amanda Warren became allergic to all mammalian meats (meat allergy); developed a secondary allergy to milk, cheeses, animal byproducts and carrageenan, as well as airborne lipid and particle reactivity. The Alpha Gal Syndrome diagnosis upended Amanda's personal food world. As a School Nutrition Director, chef, and educator, it changed how she feeds thousands of kids every day, and brought to mind thoughtful concerns around allergy management, food labeling, and our food system. Join Tracy and Amanda during Food Allergy Awareness Week as they discuss what has been the most difficult experience after her AGS diagnosis and the priorities she thinks could make the greatest impact around alpha-gal, RIGHT NOW?
