Can a tick bite make you allergic to steak?
In this episode of From Bench to Bedside, Dr. Zachary Rubin and Dr. Melanie Matheu explain Alpha-Gal Syndrome, a rapidly emerging food allergy caused by tick bites that can trigger delayed allergic reactions—even life-threatening anaphylaxis—hours after eating red meat.
They discuss:
• The immunology behind alpha-gal syndrome
• Why symptoms are delayed
• How the condition was first discovered
• Current diagnostic strategies
• Tick prevention
• Emerging treatments under investigation
• Common myths and misinformation surrounding alpha-gal
As the geographic range of lone star ticks continues to expand, awareness of alpha-gal syndrome has never been more important.
