Check for ticks people! I've known people affected by Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Alphagal. Both are brutal.

Think on that.
Alphagal will only become bigger news. People will understand the full scope of it and why it is so dangerous. Climate change will cause its spread.
You think by having a degree and speaking on it, you have an obligation

Has alphagal tick-born food allergy to products from mammals caused schools to change their menus and if so why is that not a bigger story?

I will state that I just met a MAGA dude at our family barbeque this weekend (chicken because of high cost for beef under Republican policies I'll add) who has been made allergic to beef etc. because of alphagal.
Maybe that will help our efforts, but it is a terrible thing to happen to people.

Because this allergy is predominantly tick born, you are more at risk if you go outdoors in wooded areas for activities like hiking, fishing or hunting. One hint is to wear long sleeved shirts or pants and use insect repellant. Find out more. #alphagal #tickbite

I have been plagued with alphagal since the 1980s. Cannot eat mammal meat after getting bit by a lonestar tick when I briefly lived in Houston. I have always joked that the biggest joke the universe could play on Texas is for every alpha male in the state to get infected.

And...if you get bitten by a tick because lack of pest control due to budget cuts and get AlphaGal...you won't be eating any beef anyway. How about we try to solve the *necessary* problems for once?
