The CDC's new job, is it to scare people. The 'new' problem = AGS

[Jmac00]

Now it seems the CDC's only job is to come up with new(ish) thing to scare the public with. Now we have Alpha-Gal syndrome ( AGS ) its a Red Meat Allergy that you get from eating meat that a tick, specifically, the Lone Star Tick, bit, or bit you? Im a little confused as to which it is. Did the tick bite the cow, and then we consume it, or does the tick bite humans and then we eat the meat and get ADS The article goes through all the nasty stuff, but at no point that I read, did it say COOKING the meat would prevent any issues.

Or is this a way for the .gov to get people to stope eating Red meat?

CDC Warns Red Meat Allergy Caused by Ticks an ‘Emerging Public Health Concern’

www.theepochtimes.com

Alpha-gal syndrome, or AGS, is a serious and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that comes after people eat red meat or consume products that have alpha-gal, a type of sugar found in most mammals, according to the CDC.

The syndrome is caused by the lone star tick, which can transfer alpha-gal into an individual’s body. As a result, the body can develop an immune system response to the sugar whenever one consumes it.

The lone star tick, or Amblyomma americanum, can be found across the southeastern and eastern United States as well as Mexico and parts of Canada. The tick has a single spot on its back, earning it the “lone star” name. It’s also known as the northeastern water tick or the turkey tick.

apparently, the CDC has known about this little issue since 2010. But just recently decided to announce it to the public?

I will not stop eating red meat. Even if it kills me.

I heard about this several years ago.

So, it's not been a big secret.

Sounds more like the 24hr news cycle syndrome.

Where whatever the most interesting thing going on is, it's100% an apocalypse. So if you have a slow news week they need to go and drag up crap from years ago and pretend it's suddenly important.

[Jsmegs77]

Been bit by plenty of ticks, as I’m sure the beef I’m eating has also. Not showing any allergic response, also not dead. Ergo, I don’t care.

Next?

Non-food products that may contain alpha-gal​

• Some medications and vaccines may contain small amounts of alpha-gal-containing additives, stabilizers, or coatings. Not all patients with AGS react to these ingredients.
• Lists of additives to specific vaccines (called vaccine excipients) are available through CDC’s Pink Book [PDF – 4 pages] and the Institute for Vaccine Safety. Ingredients that may contain alpha-gal include, but are not limited to:
  • Gelatin
  • Glycerin
  • Magnesium stearate
  • Bovine extract
• Other medical products, such as heart valves from pigs or cows, monoclonal antibodies, heparin, and certain antivenoms are animal-derived and may contain alpha-gal.
• As with any severe allergy, patients with AGS should work with their healthcare providers to make decisions about individual risk and benefit from specific vaccines and medications.
