Good news for (mostly) all!
Progress continues on development of polyclonal antibodies, a key in early and effective treatments, possibly preventative prophylaxis.
BAD news for me. None of these will help me....

"When he came to, he was on the floor. He had rolled out of the wheelchair and hit his head. A gaggle of worried-looking medical staff stood over him. They asked if he was on drugs."
In most ER, he would have already been hit with two doses of NARCAN.

#alphagal allergy syndrome breaks all rules, stands as example of how much we don't know. This guy got lucky. I have YET to meet medpro that knows this, except for my allergist.
Had I not studied myself and searched for answers, my PCP would have found them thru MY anaphylaxis.

Would it have been flu shot I refused? (2 of 4 have mammal component)..
Maybe the acid blocker I refused, in a gel-cap?
Would I have passed out during colon prep for procedure I refused?
How long before first 'incident' gets me narcanned? Hell I'm probably allergic to it too.

Thomas Plattis -Mills, MD, PhD, FRS @MedicineUVA | talking about alpha-gal syndrome & Lone Star ticks #LivLymeSummit @liv_lyme 
@MedicineUVA @liv_lyme Plattis-Mills | presentation of #AlphaGal allergy (onset 2-6 hours after exposure) different than severe anaphylaxis. Amblyoma americanum Lone star tick responsible in US, In France & Australia Ixodes is responsible for alpha-gal. New invasive Asian tick can also transmit.
Plattis-Mills | IgE to alpha-gal is a reaction to oligosaccharides. Question: “Is it due to tick saliva or something found in the tick?” #LivLymeSummit
