The rate of Americans developing a rare meat allergy from tick bites is rising, researchers say, and may have already impacted as many as 450,000 people. New data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Thursday shows a steep increase in cases of alpha-gal syndrome. Blood-sucking bites from the lone star, formally called the Amblyomma americanum, can make a person sick when they consume certain meat and animal products made from mammals. The list of dangerous foods for people suffering from alpha-gal syndrome include pork, beef, rabbit, lamb, venison, gelatine, milk, some dairy products and certain pharmaceuticals. #Alpha-galsyndrome #ticks #meatdisease There is a medical (& health) playlist if you are interested. #drug for penis enlargement #tendwell male enhancement oil
