Tick-borne diseases skyrocket. Protect yourself before it's too late
Briefly

Recent studies from the CDC estimate that about 476,000 Americans are diagnosed with Lyme disease annually, but another tick-borne condition, Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), is increasingly recognized as a serious health risk. AGS can make individuals allergic to mammalian products, affecting their diet, medications, and more. Notably, while Lyme disease is well-known, many health providers are unaware of AGS, which may already be the second most common tick-borne illness in the U.S. Risk extends to various occupational and recreational groups who spend time outdoors.
The alarming rise of Alpha-gal syndrome highlights a new and serious tick-borne threat that could profoundly affect everyday life for many Americans.
Many healthcare providers are unaware of Alpha-gal syndrome, leaving many at risk without knowledge of this potentially life-altering condition.
