• There appears to be quite a difference in peoples’ response to it:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2022/03/24/patients-with-alpha-gal-syndrome-report-wide-range-of-symptoms/  Results of the survey showed that the most common mammalian ingredients and items that patients reacted to included
  • beef (96%)
  • pork (85%)
  • dairy (60%)
  • gelatin in food or medicine (55%)
  • personal care products, such as shampoos and tampons (36%)
  • prescription (35%) 
  • over-the-counter (30%) medicines
  • lamb (34%) 
  • venison (28%)
  • Although less common, patients also reported having reacted to household cleaning products (27%)
  • vaccines (13%)
  • textiles (11%) 
  • dental/surgical medical supplies (10%)
  • things that one would not associate with animals at all like 
  • crayons
  • asphalt
  • leather goods 
  • cleaning products
  • some people also react to carrageenan, an extract of seaweed that appears to be cross-reactive
  • there are some patients who are very, very sensitive, and they can’t even be around fumes.

It’s far from straight-forward just like Lyme/MSIDS.  So many unknowns.
