After The Tick provides general educational information about Alpha-gal syndrome, tick safety, outdoor life, food-related questions, product research, and related topics.
Nothing on this website is medical advice, legal advice, emergency advice, diagnosis, treatment, or a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.
Alpha-gal reactions can be serious and may be life-threatening. Always make personal health decisions with an allergist, doctor, pharmacist, or other qualified healthcare professional who understands your medical history. For the limits of this website’s health information, see the personal health decisions.
If you are having trouble breathing, throat swelling, fainting, severe dizziness, or another possible severe allergic reaction, call 911 or seek emergency medical help right away.
