Uncovering the Hidden Threat: The Rise of Alpha-Gal Syndrome

Alpha-Gal Syndrome has impacted over 80 million individuals since its discovery in 2002. Caused by bites from Lone Star ticks that transfer a sugar molecule to humans, this autoimmune condition can result in a mild to severe allergic reaction to mammalian meat, dairy, and animal by-products.

With estimates projecting that 15% of the global population will contract this illness by 2030, according to the Mayo Clinic and the University of North Carolina, the urgency for early detection and prevention of animal proteins in food has never been higher. Those suffering from Alpha-Gal often carry food allergy cards or wear medical alert bracelets to ensure they receive proper care in the case of a food-induced anaphylaxis attack.

In response to the growing need for accessible and affordable meat detection products, Amikno has developed a cutting-edge test to provide peace of mind for those suffering from Alpha-Gal Syndrome and other related food allergies.
