Ticks can sparks extreme allergy with a single bite, health expert says

PHILADELPHIA - There's a new reason to fear ticks - and it has nothing to do with Lyme disease.Health experts say a bite from a tick can cause a potentially life-threatening food allergy called "alpha-gal" syndrome.People with alpha-gal syndrome develop a severe allergy to a carbohydrate found in animal products, including red meat, milk and anything containing gelatin.Ticks pick up the molecule from animals, such as cows and sheep, then transfer it to humans through saliva during a bite or feeding.One single bite can spark the allergy in hours, or up to a day, according to Director of the Dr. Jane Huffman Wildlife Genetics Institute Nicole Chinnic.Bites from Lone Star ticks, which are originated in Texas, are said to be especially dangerous.
