Abstract

The article discusses the link between mammalian meat allergy and tick bites, known as alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), which has been reported globally. The research highlights the allergenic potency of mammalian meat sources and the clinical spectrum of reactions, emphasizing the importance of understanding co-factors that modulate reactions. The study also quantifies the allergenic potency of different mammalian meat sources, noting that innards and game lean meat pose the greatest risk, while cow's milk products have the lowest risk. This information aims to guide healthcare providers and patients in managing mammalian meat allergy after tick bites effectively. [Extracted from the article]
