Abstract

"Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is a food allergy to mammal meat and other products made from mammals. It is caused by a tick bite and is sometimes called a tick bite meat allergy or a red meat allergy. Symptoms are different for different people. They can range from mild to life-threatening. There is no known cure, so finding out early or preventing AGS is important. Learning about AGS and ways to prevent tick bites can lower the risk of serious symptoms. This guide covers alpha-gal syndrome symptoms, testing, and prevention tips. For more help with meal planning, cooking, and shopping to avoid alpha-gal, check out MU Extension publications Cooking with Alpha-Gal Syndrome (N1351) and Shopping for Alpha-Gal Syndrome (N1352." -- first page
