Association between lone star tick bites and increased alpha-gal sensitization: evidence from a prospective cohort of outdoor workers
BACKGROUND: Alpha-gal is an oligosaccharide implicated in delayed anaphylaxis following red meat consumption. Exposure to tick bites has been correlated with development of an allergic response to alpha-gal. However, evidence prospectively linking exposure to a single tick species and an immune resp...
