☀️ Spending time outdoors in the Southeast, mid-Atlantic, Midwest or East Central U.S. during the summer? Beware of ticks! 🕷️

According to a new CDC report, there has been a significant increase in emergency room visits for tick bites – this summer has seen the highest number in at least five years.

Bites from the lone star tick can cause an allergic reaction called alpha-gal syndrome in addition to other health issues.

Alpha-gal syndrome can cause uncomfortable GI symptoms including unanticipated allergic reactions to eating meat from mammals and products made from mammals. That includes staple summer foods including hot dogs, hamburgers and steak. 😲

Have you heard of this emerging disease?

Do you and your patients have the facts about obesity? Test your knowledge with some true and false below. ⬇️

🤔 Obesity happens because of poor lifestyle choices.
❌ False – obesity is a complex disease and different factors, not just lack of willpower, can cause weight gain.

🤔 Obesity can lead to other serious health issues.
✅ True – obesity has been linked to other health conditions. Weight loss is positive for overall health and can improve digestive issues caused by obesity, like acid reflux.

🤔 Obesity treatment options are limited.
❌ False – there’s a full spectrum of treatment options for obesity, including prescription drugs, endoscopic procedures and surgery, but we need real change to make options more readily available to the people who need them.
