Episode: Can I be allergic to red meat? The facts about Alpha Gal Syndrome
Description: There are many types of ticks. A bite from one type, The Lone star tick, can lead to a red meat allergy. Also known as Alpha Gal Syndrome, this allergy occurs after consuming beef, lamb, pork, bison, rabbit, goat, dairy and other mammal-derived products. Sounds straight out of a sci-fi movie right? On this week's Courtney on Health, Courtney will explain Alpha Gal Syndrome, which areas of the country are seeing more cases, foods and products that may trigger a reaction and how long it lasts. Thanks for listening. Â
