Ticking time bomb? Study on ticks in Singapore calls for greater vigilance
- Cases of Alpha-Gal Syndrome, an allergy to red meat from tick bites, are increasing in rural areas of Kansas, according to Priscilla Brenes from K-State Research and Extension.
- The Lone Star tick spreads Alpha-Gal Syndrome, and less than 10% of those bitten develop the allergy, as stated by K-State entomologist Yoonseong Park.
- Symptoms of Alpha-Gal Syndrome include hives, nausea, and shortness of breath, prompting patients to consult their doctors, according to the report.
- A survey is being conducted across all 105 Kansas counties to gather more information about Alpha-Gal Syndrome, with financial incentives for participants, as mentioned by Brenes.
