Lyme disease from tick bites still gets headlines. But a tick bite can also leave people allergic to red meat, dairy, gelatin and other mammal-derived ingredients. It’s called alpha-gal syndrome—and cases are climbing.
In this episode of Epoch Reports, Benjamin Trenerry talks with Epoch Times journalist Darlene Sanchez about why diagnoses are rising, why the condition is so easy to miss, and what daily life looks like for the people who have it. The reporting runs from Columbia, Kentucky—where ticks are part of life—to Capitol Hill, including Rep. Morgan Griffith’s own diagnosis and his work on food labeling and the Kay Hagan Tick Act.
