Tick Bites, “Red Meat Allergy” and Alpha-gal Syndrome: What's the Connection? 

They (F’ouchie)probably created it in a lab and introduced it there to test it out on the military.😡

Suffer from this as well and acquired it in michigan also.

Thanks for sharing your story! We're hoping to help spread the word to more people like you that are looking for answers.

@sigrimm kjarr hives and throat closing when ever i eat pork beef and venison. Seemed to get worse after not eating meat for 6 mo.s I tried eating pork again. The reaction was more delayed but pronounced Anaphylaxis. So far thats what I know.

@sigrimm kjarr anaphylaxis

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kzdZ0caYGzY.html we still must watch out and carefully analyze the information we receive. The tick is native to the USA but the Condiction is not..... All the American Indians would have dropped dead... Maybe??

I so agree with you! I was at a cardiologist trying explain and he argued with me. Told me to move to an area where doctors are aware of it.

Yes, more information and knowledge around these topics is needed. It's always a good reminder to keep doing your tick checks and use proper tick repellent such as permethrin treated clothing and gear.

@@InsectShieldTech I use your clothing most of the time! Wonderful stuff, and LOVE the no smell, since I'm very sensitive to chemicals. I wish you had some larger/looser pants options for us "fluffy" women. :) I know we can send in our own clothing...I just keep putting it off. I don't like any clothes that fit tight {like form fitting clothing}. That's just me, I feel constrained and like loose comfortable clothing when I'm out photographing wildlife 12 hours a day. I order the men's shirts because they are a bit heavier than the women's and not form fitting. I do have some of the leggings, which are very comfy, but no pockets are in those, and I need pockets for carrying phone, epi pen, keys, etc. The women's pants with pockets are mostly too tight for my waistline after wearing them for so long in the Tennessee heat and humidity.

same in Missouri.. my healthcare went into the toilet because the hospital I go to refuses to learn about it they even put my life at danger and I have nowhere to safely go if I have a medical emergency because again they refuse to educate on the disease ion my area

Yes! My brother has been in the ER almost daily and the can’t seem to give him a straight answer

👍

Sorry to hear that.

Thanks for sharing. More information and knowledge around these topics is key.

I have your exact story. I finally found the right doctor, I was starting to think it was in my head.

More information and education is needed around these topics to better help and support people going through these types of issues.

Thanks for sharing.

Sorry to hear that. Thanks for sharing.

We will try to add more resources if we are able, but you can always check our blog for more infromation - www.insectshield.com/blogs/blog/tick-bites-red-meat-allergy-and-alpha-gal-syndrome

Also I'll get the ticks and bites for ya, I love fishing and foraging. I'll even eat what you need me too, don't mind being sick. I thought about the pig heart valves thing immediately after learning I can't eat pork.

I understand that as well. I was diagnosed with AGS over 3 years ago, but I was always outside with family and have been to the NE part of the US. Mostly to see family, but once identified, you’ll have to see what is causing the reaction and then find alternatives to get around what you can and cannot eat due to this allergy.

(sugar and protein)

Thanks for sharing

I heard on another channel 3-8 hrs after eating red meat the symptoms will come on

I got a tick bite from one over 10 years ago and no one had a clue what it was. Then went to the allergist as the last resort because I was so sick all of the time. I didn't know what I could eat. The symptoms usually take anywhere from 20 minutes to the middle of the night and I mean the stomach pain is worse than the flu. Nothing calms it down. I didn't just get 1 of the symptoms I got them all and almost had my throat close up. Just monitor him and if he develops any type of symptoms take him to the ER. It can get bad pretty quick.

The best thing to do is to consult with your doctor to go over medication options.

If you think this might be the case, we recommend going to a doctor who understands tick-borne illnesses and getting their opinion.

Went to an allergist today here in NJ. He completely dismissed any correlation between this & dairy allergy and said that reaction to fumes & such are basically bs! He said it is just eating those particular meats. 🫤

Some carriers aren't always able to infect others even though they might have the germs in them.

Maybe tick saliva has a bloodthinner that causes a strong spread at the bite source.

What kind of tick and where?

@mick5740 I never thought to try to figure out what type of tick this was at the time, but it happened in Eustis Florida.
