AGS (alpha-gal syndrome)



What is alpha-gal syndrome?
AGS is a red meat allergy caused by a tick bite. The alpha gal sugar molecule is found in a tick’s saliva. Soon after the tick bites you, it causes an immune system response that increases your sensitivity to red meat. The allergic reaction usually occurs hours after eating a meal with red meat.

What are alpha-gal symptoms and meat allergy symptoms?
Hives or itchy rash
Gastrointestinal problems (GI symptoms)
Nausea or vomiting
Heartburn or indigestion
Diarrhea
Severe abdominal pain
Cough, shortness of breath, or trouble breathing
Swelling of the lips, throat, tongue or eyelids
Dizziness or fainting
Low blood pressure


First meat prices sky rocket, then we need to ban cow farts, now we have an anti meat eating allergy.
