Clinical trials: Alpha-Gal Syndrome
Alpha-Gal Syndrome
The α-gal Syndrome - Investigating Immune Reactions to Tick Bites
Tick bites can transmit pathogens, but they can also induce a food allergy to mammalian meat. The goal of this clinical trial is to follow immune response and antibody build-up in individuals bitten by a tick.
