Red alert! Alpha-gal syndrome, a delayed allergic reaction to red meat and other mammalian products, is caused by tick bites that introduce the alpha-gal sugar molecule into the bloodstream. Symptoms, appearing 2–6 hours after consuming affected foods, range from hives and abdominal pain to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Initially linked to the lone star tick in the southeastern U.S., the syndrome is now associated with multiple tick species across six continents, including the black-legged tick. The CDC estimates up to 450,000 U.S. cases, but 42% of healthcare providers are unaware of the condition, leading to delayed diagnoses. Management involves avoiding mammalian products and further tick bites, with potential for recovery over time.
