Beyond Lyme: What Else Are Ticks Carrying?
Dr. Ryan Cole was joined by Dr. Kat Lindley and Dr. Lynn Fynn.
The three physicians break down what Alpha-Gal Syndrome is, where it shows up in everyday products, how it’s diagnosed and managed, and what families should know about tick-borne illness and prevention heading into summer.
Ticks are not just an outdoor nuisance. For some people, one bite can lead to months or years of strange symptoms, immune reactions, food sensitivities, inflammation, and unanswered questions.
And Alpha-Gal Syndrome is one of the stranger pieces of this puzzle (a tick bite can trigger a reaction to red meat and other mammal products).
This show is not about fear.
Instead the conversation covers what to watch for after a tick bite, how to reduce exposure, when to seek medical guidance, and how patients can ask better questions about prevention and risk.
Its a great way to spend an hour, and will be a show you can share with family and friends wanting balanced information.
