👋🏻 Hello from Missouri. I was told my Alpha Gal was “stress.”

Missouri really said:
“Fine. If nobody else is talking about it, we will.” 🇺🇸

At this point, y’all are basically the unofficial headquarters of TickBiteData.

Our highest survey participation continues coming from Missouri — and the stories coming in are impossible to ignore.

Patients reporting:
• years of misdiagnosis
• neurological symptoms
• repeated ER visits
• being told it was “just anxiety”

This data is becoming bigger than one state.

And people everywhere are starting to realize they are not alone.

In my home state

One Missouri representative is seeking to pass a law that would mandate the state to track and record cases of the tick-borne allergy alpha-gal syndrome.

😢 so sad. We need more education and awareness about Alpha Gal.

Jeremy Webb has been identified as the first Australian to die from a rare tick-related red meat allergy, following an inquest into his sudden death during a camping trip.

2026 has already been busy and eye opening for me health wise. So much to process…
🌳 Tested positive to almost EVERY environmental allergy. I never knew I had any of these. This explains why I can never breathe out of my nose and my nose runs outside a lot. I have cats in my house and I also have chickens. They aren’t leaving. I’m getting weekly allergy shots in the city. This will last for years. Ugh.
🥜 Tested mildly positive for a food allergy to peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish and casein. But he said “keep eating them if they don’t bother you.” Well I think some of them do which explains a lot.
🥚 tested negative for an egg allergy but they do make me sick so it’s just a sensitivity (or alpha gal related)
🫁 Tested positive for mild ASTHMA (bc of all the allergies) I have trouble breathing/getting air in certain situations so this explains that. Mystery solved.
💉 had to get a biopsy on a thyroid nodule. It turned out fine but that wasn’t totally fun. Ha.
🔥 PS. almost burned the house down taking care of an injured rooster in my garage. Straw+heat lamp. Garage was full of smoke which got into the house. New air purifier did not like that. Just what my lungs needed.
🥩 on top of all that, still living with alpha gal and mystery reactions and living on chicken and tuna. Dr said maybe I could qualify for the shots. Idk If they help??

It’s only February. Ha. I just needed to vent bc it’s a lot.

This makes sense. With the woods. Def wear bug spray. I’m not far from there!

A tick bite that changes everything: Alpha-Gal Syndrome prevents people from eating red meat and dairy, and Arkansas cases are climbing fast: https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/alpha-gal-cases-in-arkansas/91-bc9c2777-535d-40df-b407-458d4d75a832?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_5NEWS

I’m all for wins and staying positive but the truth is, sometimes this allergy is hard or mysterious. That’s not weakness. There are bad days or bad reactions. It happens.

My weekly win is my favorite homemade pancakes and then you have last night where I had a mystery reaction.

How’s alpha gal treating you??
