Alpha-gal syndrome, a red meat allergy triggered by tick bites, appears to be emerging in new regions across the United States.
This condition is primarily associated with the lone star tick’s bite (Amblyomma americanum), which transfers the carbohydrate molecule galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose (alpha-gal) into the human body. Subsequent consumption of mammalian meat products can lead to allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.
Historically, alpha-gal syndrome has been most prevalent in the central and southern United States, aligning with the distribution of the lone star tick.
However, recent reports suggest that cases are surfacing in areas beyond these traditional regions. This expansion may be attributed to changes in tick populations and human interactions with these vectors.
