353: Crazy Meat Allergy Triggered By Ticks (Here’s The Deal On Alpha-Gal Syndrome) w/ Dr. David Fitzhugh

Ever heard of a tick meat allergy? Also known also Alpha-gal syndrome, this is a allergic reaction to mammalian meat (like beef, pork, or lamb) caused by a tick bite. Unlike typical food allergies, symptoms can take hours to appear—making it tough to diagnose.

This tricky condition often requires a major diet overhaul and makes choosing supplements more complicated since mammalian ingredients aren’t part of the top 9 allergens.

To break it all down, I’m joined by Dr. David Fitzhugh, a North Carolina-based allergist who specializes in food immunotherapy and complex allergic conditions.
