They came for your blood – and stole your burgers.
An increasing number of Americans are being forced into veganism after contracting a strange allergy, born of ticks that turn red meat and dairy into a dangerous risk to life.
To make life without meat a little easier to swallow, Peta is making a plant -based cooking book Even the strongest carnivores can sink their teeth.
“Bitting can absorb, but there is no need to withdraw from a meat allergy with so many delicious vegan recipes in the cooking book,” said Tracy Reiman, the executive vice president of the nonprofit organization in a statement.
Dishes “Lone Star Tick Cookbook” from 15 Southern Southern Recipes for people with alpha-gal, including a breakfast biscuit and gravy sandwich, chili, a spicy “chicken” sandwich, beef-free tacos, “chicken” under and a Philly cheeseteak.
Keep reading to learn how to rub a sandwich drawn from the BBQ that will also have lovers of meat and dead potatoes.
What is Alpha-Gal syndrome?
The condition is caused by Tick Lone Star bite. When fixed, it can inject a sugar molecule called alpha-gal in the bloodstream.
Once this happens, the immune system can develop an allergy to alpha-gal. This causes reactions to foods and products containing the molecule, including most mammal meat, such as beef, pork and lamb, as well as milk and gelatin.
Symptoms usually occur between two and six hours after exposure and can range from hives and nausea to severe, potentially life -threatening anaphylaxis.
There is currently no cure, although it can be managed through lifestyle changes-mainly by avoiding foods and products containing alpha-gal to prevent allergic reactions.
Is Alpha-Gal syndrome becoming more common?
The allergy was almost unheard of in the US had only two dozen cases of Alpha-Gal syndrome reported across the country in 2009.
However, in recent years, the Lone Star Tick has expanded beyond its traditional range, spreading throughout the south, Midwest and northeast. This migration has run a boom in reported cases.
Since 2010, disease control and prevention centers have recorded approximately 110,000 cases of Alpha-Gal syndrome.
However, the agency notes that the current number of people affected by the allergy can be up to 450,000, as many cases are likely to go diagnosed.
Without meat? No problem.
As the Alpha-Gal syndrome becomes more widespread, it is reforming the way Americans buy, cook and eat. Just look at Tuesday’s vineyard, where restaurants are presenting the “Alfa-Gal-friendly” menus to accommodate hundreds of new cases on the island.
Living with Alpha-Gal syndrome is not easy, but you can still enjoy delicious foods, with no worries in your kitchen.
