A Tick Bite Could Trigger This Strange Food Reaction

You Should Know: Unfortunately, when it comes to ticks, there’s now more to worry about than Lyme disease. Alpha-gal syndrome — a meat allergy that develops after a tick bite — is starting to pop up in the Northeast after being mostly found elsewhere in the world. And it can even be fatal in some cases.

Going Deeper: Alpha-gal can be hard to spot because symptoms often show up long after the tick bite. Many people never even realize they were bitten. It also acts differently from most food allergies. Someone might enjoy a meal with no issues at all, only to hours later begin dealing with hives, stomach trouble, or swelling. Some have even assumed they were dealing with food poisoning until bloodwork revealed otherwise.

Takeaway: It’s worth checking in with a doctor if you keep noticing unusual symptoms after a meal, especially hours later, even if you don’t remember getting a tick bite.

Bottom Line: If concerns about Lyme haven’t already made you more careful about checking for ticks after being outside, the idea of a steak or burger making you nauseous or covered in hives might be the motivation you need.
