Educational meeting about alpha-gal syndrome 9 Oct 2018 By Nick Roy A growing number of Adair County citizens have been diagnosed with alpha-gal syndrome, a food allergy to red meat. Alpha-gal is most usually a result of being bitten by a Lone Star tick which is often found in Adair County. In areas of the country where lone star ticks are common, up to 20% of the people have tested positive for this antibody. This can trigger a mild to severe immune system reaction when they eat red meat. There is no treatment other than avoiding red meat. As the number of cases have grown in Adair County, it becomes more important that citizens and health care professionals become more familiar with the threats posed by Lone Star ticks and common symptoms observed as a result of their bite. To bring awareness of Lone Star ticks and alpha-gal, an educational meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 9th at 6pmCT at the Adair County Cooperative Extension Service, 409 Fairground St., Columbia, KY. Everyone who would like to learn more about Lone Star ticks and aphal-gal, those who may have been diagnosed with alpha-gal, and health care professionals are encouraged to attend. Guest speakers will include Dr. James Sublett, MD who is the national chair of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology and University of Kentucky Entomologist Dr. Lee Townsend. For more information contact the Adair County Cooperative Extension Service at (270) 384-2317. This story was posted on 2018-09-24 18:06:39
