This video is for individuals experiencing unexplained allergic reactions, clinicians seeking foundational information on alpha-gal syndrome, and anyone interested in understanding tick-associated conditions beyond Lyme disease.
This topic is covered in greater depth as part of my self-paced Lyme & tick-borne disease online course, which provides a comprehensive framework for prevention, recognition, and early care.
