Lone Star Tick Inhabiting Central and Southern U.S. Is Primary Reason for Meat Induced Alpha-Gal Allergic Reaction, Study Finds
"Blood levels of antibodies for alpha-gal in the human body can rise after a single bite from the lone-star tick," said allergist Stanley Fineman, M.D., ACAAI president. "This can result in allergic symptoms which are usually delayed after meat ingestion and may present as mild hives but may also be a severe, potentially deadly reaction known as anaphylaxis."
Unlike other food allergies, alpha-gal meat allergy can be delayed as long as three to six hours after eating meat. Symptoms range from mild to severe and may include:
Hives or skin rash
Nausea, stomach cramps, indigestion, vomiting, diarrhea
Stuffy/runny nose
Sneezing
Headaches
Asthma
A severe allergic reaction is known as anaphylaxis, which starts rapidly and may cause death
If you experience an allergic reaction after eating meat, seek emergency medical attention. Follow up with a board-certified allergist who can develop a treatment plan for you and prescribe life-saving epinephrine.
