Alpha-gal Syndrome Explained

Tick bites can trigger a bizarre and potentially life-threatening allergy to red meat called Alpha-gal syndrome, primarily caused by the Lone Star tick. Symptoms range from hives to anaphylaxis, and while blood types A and O may be more vulnerable, the allergy can sometimes fade over time. Prevention hinges on avoiding tick bites—wear long sleeves, check your body thoroughly after outdoor exposure, and stay vigilant. Oklahoma’s new law, taking effect this November, will make Alpha-gal reportable, helping track and better understand this emerging health threat.
