Known as alpha-gal syndrome, the condition is caused by an immune reaction to the sugar alpha- gal (galactose- -1,3-galactose), which is found in the flesh of most nonprimate mammals. There's no treatment or cure for alpha- gal syndrome, but patients can manage the condition by avoiding eating things that have the alpha- gal sugar. Taking personal protective measures is really important for preventing alpha- gal syndrome: using Environmental Protection Agency - registered repellents, checking yourself for ticks when you return from outdoors, walking in the middle of a trail - those are tick-bite preventions that are applicable to any tickborne disease.
