We are hosting the 1st Alpha-gal Syndrome scientific meeting and are grateful to @insect_shield and @TickKeyCompany1 for their generous donations to the tick(ed) off kit!
I'm excited to announce the launch of my podcast, Questions People Ask, that answers timely questions in medicine, science and more. The first 2 episodes are everything you need to know about alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) for patients and healthcare providers.

Congratulations to Andy Commins for breaking the @uncwswimdive 200 Fly program record with a 1:45.63!
Andy called me at 7 a.m. on the first day the transfer portal opened. He didn’t call to ask about UNCW — he called to tell me this is where he wanted to be.
Andy made the call.
I am grateful to @GOPDoctors caucus for hosting a discussion about alpha-gal syndrome & the role of federal funding in its discovery. Your full attention, engagement, and support for patient care and science was evident.
We appreciate your work and are all trusting you to protect healthcare and funding for biomedical research. @RepBobOnder @RepJohnJoyce @RepBuddyCarter @UNC_SOM @UNCMedCenter @GregMurphyMD
#Breaking: The @US_FDA approved our treatment as the first and only medicine for children and adults with one or more #FoodAllergies. Learn more: gene.com/media/press-release…

Alpha-gal syndrome – a reaction to a sugar found red meat and dairy products that is caused by lone star ticks – may now be the 10th most common food allergy in the US, according to new CDC estimates. It is also one of the least recognized. cnn.it/43JO0q7

More than 100,000 people in the U.S. have become allergic to red meat since 2010 because of a weird syndrome triggered by bites from the lone star tick, according to a new report by the CDC. apnews.com/article/meat-alle…

NEW: Tick-linked red meat allergy may be far more common than previously known. New @CDCgov data suggests up to 450,000 people may have developed this condition since 2010, which is linked to bite of lone star tick. Corrected tweet here. washingtonpost.com/health/20…
Enlisted daughter Grace to help with a little data entry during Covid. She recoded the database and saved the study. For this she earned authorship on our work w CDC published today establishing tick bite-AGS link. @CDC_NCEZID @gracecommins #WomenInSTEM annallergy.org/article/S1081…

First case-control study establishing that tick bites are associated with alpha-gal syndrome (#alphaGal #AGS). Collaborative science with @CDCgov DVBD that persevered despite the pandemic. Watch out for skin reactions at the site of bites! @UNCResearch annallergy.org/article/S1081…
Congrats @andy_commins - proud of you! As @alextoussaint25 would say: no luck involved; every bit of this was earned! #WarEagle Winter Juniors Qualifier Andy Commins (2024) Verbally Commits to Auburn swimswam.com/winter-juniors-… via @swimswamnews
I honestly didn’t know about the association of Lyme disease & IBS and, admittedly, thought immediately of gastrointestinal alpha-gal syndrome #AGS #alphaGal #allergy. So much more to learn about #ticks and #immune responses!
