We continue our deep dive into alpha-gal red meat allergy today by taking a closer look at Galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose, the carbohydrate at the center of this issue, and the ticks that carry it. To help us unpack such a complicated situation, we have two special guests, Dr. Paulina Maldonado-Ruiz and Dr. Yoonseong Park, both currently at Kansas State University. Join us to learn more about the origins of alpha-gal red meat allergy, the research into how ticks carry it, and what the future may hold for this allergy.  Alpha-gal  Show Notes To find more about the research covered in today's show please consult our guest's websites- Dr. Maldonado-Ruiz Dr. Park Questions?
