Even if there's only one mention of it in the article, I'm glad they included it: alpha-gal syndrome. Not a ton of people seem to know about it and yet I continue to meet more and more people that are affected by it.

For those unaware, it causes a person to develop an allergy to red meat and there's currently no treatment for it other than to wait. Granted, it's not as serious as Lyme Disease, I hope it gets to be well known so there's increased chances of finding a cure for it.

My friend's brother was bitten by a lone star tick on Long Island and since has developed that syndrome. It's been pretty funny trying to figure out what we can cook for him at our BBQ's since apparently the meats he's able to eat now are essentially chicken, fish, duck, and human.
