Lone Star Tick: One Bite Makes You Forever Allergic to Red Meat
from Mitha Intel · host Mitha
A single bite from the lone star tick can trigger alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), a serious and potentially lifelong allergy to red meat and other mammalian products. The tick transmits the sugar molecule alpha-gal—found in beef, pork, lamb, and sometimes dairy or gelatin—into the human body, prompting an immune response that produces antibodies. Unlike typical food allergies, reactions are often delayed by three to six hours, ranging from hives and gastrointestinal distress to life-threatening anaphylaxis.Watch Full Showhttps://Mitha.NewsKeep Us Censor-Freehttps://Rumble.com/MithaSocial MediaX: https://www.twitter.com/MithaIntelInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/MithaIntelYouTube: https://youtube.com/@MithaIntelFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MithaIntel*Disclaimer*Insights within media content are NOT designed to be Professional Legal, Medical, or Financial Advice.
