Alpha-gal syndrome is more than a “red meat allergy.” FARE and the Alpha-gal Alliance are announcing a new collaboration to improve public and clinical understanding of alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), a growing and under-recognized IgE-mediated food allergy that begins with a tick bite. An estimated 450,000 people in the U.S. may be living with AGS, yet delayed reactions and varied symptoms mean many spend years searching for answers. Together, our organizations will work to elevate patient voices, address misconceptions, strengthen education, and advance advocacy efforts, especially as legislation is considered to recognize alpha-gal as the nation’s tenth major allergen. We’re launching this effort with a new “Myths and Facts” guide and coordinated awareness campaign to help the public better understand AGS and its impact. Read more here: https://bit.ly/4qZkEzG
