Abstract

The present paper deals with the study of a kind of food allergy developed after the bite of Loan- star tick and the consumption of red meat in human. This is called as the alpha-gal – syndrome (AGS) allergy in human. The mammalian meat allergy (MMA) is developed due to the injection of galactose alpha- 1,3- galactose sugar molecule in the human body by a Loan- star tick.
