Paul; it also includes all Dairy products. I read they are working on a new test to try and isolate which meat is the primary trigger.

Tracy, a few years ago I got bit by a bunch of ticks in Tenn. and then again in SC and had a different reaction then I have had before. They all developed oozing blisters for at least a week. I also read you can get it from Chiggers.

Woah that's rough!  It looks like the effects of the infection slowly wear off, but I can't imagine it's much fun testing to see if it's gone or not.  :/

That's rough man, I would not be happy giving up red meat, but I would console myself by trying to get the doc to give me a prescription for sushi, lots and lots of tasty sushi!

Falafel/hummus/baba ghanoush/tabouli...
I could eat that stuff every day and enjoy it.

When I ate it in Israel I don't think it had meat. I'm not going to turn into a Vegetarian, I got two Epi Pens, today.

Well, just got the call from the Doc, I've tested positive for Alpha Gal. Funny, I ate pork chop Saturday and then leftovers on Sunday.

Eddie do me a favor and ask the doc if you
 get a chance. Can Alpha Gal be detected in
a person that no longer has symptoms?
Thanks :) Zuma

Despite having breasts, the Merriams subspecies of wild turkey here in the Black Hills is not mammalian.  Ergo, it is safe for you to eat. 

Not sayin', just sayin'.

Don; I'll see him Thursday and will ask. It takes a special blood test.
JW, so far I'm planning on it.

In the past few years ticks have affected me differently as well. When I was young I pulled them off and that was it. Now they leave a irritated red spot. If I don't find them soon I find them because they begin to itch me. I've woke up during the night several times scratching and found a tick. Once gone that red spot has been known to stick around and itch for up to 3 months. I've tried to get much better about spraying down during tick season. I bought some new stuff the other day that has permethrin in it and is scent free. You spray your clothes and it is supposed to last through up to 6 washings. Haven't put it to the test yet. Ticks aren't something you can take lightly anymore.

Sorry to hear the diagnosis Mullet. Hope it all works out for you.

I hope they can narrow down the type of meat you are allergic to.

From what I learned reading about it, All mammals can carry it (except new world primates), but not all do. So it doesn't look like you can narrow it down by species alone. It's a hard one for sure.
