Re: FYI: Ticks causing mysterious meat allergy & Anaphylaxis to Sugars

[Guest guest]

Thanks Jan () for forwarding this to me!

WOW, VERY Interesting article below! Sounds quite rare, but something to

be aware of if working with people with food reactions!

RE: Anaphylaxis to Sugars

RE: Anaphylactic reactions delayed 4-6 hours

Some excerpts from the article, link below:

" The answer to the allergy is sugar, " said Dr. Platts-Mills, who

discovered the allergy with his junior colleague Dr. Commins. They first

published their findings in 2009. " and

" Alpha-gal is unique in that it is the first known case of delayed

anaphylaxis, she said. While anaphylaxis normally occurs within minutes or

seconds

of eating a certain food, this is not the case with alpha-gal patients,

who suffer anaphylactic shock anywhere from four to six hours after eating

certain meats. "

Ticks causing mysterious meat allergy

(galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose, or alpha-gal for short)
