#amjgastro essential reading! ‘Suddenly Steakless: the GI’s Guide to Managing Alpha-gal allergy’. GIs should be aware of this emerging disease and how to diagnose/manage. Thank you, scott commins Millie Long ACG journals.lww.com/ajg/Citation/2…

Well-done Rhoel Dinglasan! Glad to be included among this group of all-stars and, more importantly, that #alphaGal syndrome (#AGS) was included. We need answers that require a multi-disciplinary approach to VBDs - thanks for assembling this team! CDC Emerging Infections Alpha-gal Syndrome Research

I honestly didn’t know about the association of Lyme disease & IBS and, admittedly, thought immediately of gastrointestinal alpha-gal syndrome #AGS #alphaGal #allergy. So much more to learn about #ticks and #immune responses! journals.lww.com/ajg/Citation/2…

First case-control study establishing that tick bites are associated with alpha-gal syndrome (#alphaGal #AGS). Collaborative science with CDC DVBD that persevered despite the pandemic. Watch out for skin reactions at the site of bites! @UNCResearch annallergy.org/article/S1081-…

Enlisted daughter Grace to help with a little data entry during Covid. She recoded the database and saved the study. For this she earned authorship on our work w CDC published today establishing tick bite-AGS link. CDC Emerging Infections Grace Commins #WomenInSTEM annallergy.org/article/S1081-…

NEW: Tick-linked red meat allergy may be far more common than previously known. New CDC data suggests up to 450,000 people may have developed this condition since 2010, which is linked to bite of lone star tick. Corrected tweet here. washingtonpost.com/health/2023/07…

More than 100,000 people in the U.S. have become allergic to red meat since 2010 because of a weird syndrome triggered by bites from the lone star tick, according to a new report by the CDC. apnews.com/article/meat-a…

Alpha-gal syndrome – a reaction to a sugar found red meat and dairy products that is caused by lone star ticks – may now be the 10th most common food allergy in the US, according to new CDC estimates. It is also one of the least recognized. cnn.it/43JO0q7
