🦌🕷️COULD ONE TICK BITE MAKE YOU ALLERGIC TO STEAK??🥩
Here in Tennessee, ticks can transmit several different illnesses—not just Lyme disease.
If you've recently been bitten by a tick or aren't feeling like yourself after spending time outdoors, don't ignore it.
HealthSurg+ offers same-day appointments and bloodwork to check for a Tick-Borne Disease.
Alpha Gal Bood Panel: $50
Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is triggered when a tick, most commonly the lone star tick, introduces the alpha-gal molecule into the bloodstream through its saliva. The immune system then produces antibodies against alpha-gal, leading to sensitization. Symptoms of AGS typically appear within one to three months after the bite, though some individuals may notice reactions within a few weeks. The immune system recognizes this molecule (found in red meat) as a threat and triggers an allergic response when you eat red meat (beef, pork, lamb). This could be a life-threatening allergic reaction.
Lyme Blood Panel: $130
Lyme disease is a tick-borne bacterial infection.
Common symptoms include:
🎯a bullseye rash, fever, headache, and fatigue.
If left untreated, Lyme disease can lead to more severe complications affecting the joints, heart, and nervous system.
Walk-ins are welcome, and we're happy to answer your questions about whether testing is right for you.
