A dangerous tick-borne illness that leaves victims unable to eat red meat is quietly spreading across the U.S., raising alarms years after the World Economic Forum floated the idea of using the ticks in a “human engineering” scheme to curb global meat consumption.

Known as Alpha-gal Syndrome (AGS), the condition is caused by the bite of the Lone Star tick, which injects a sugar molecule called alpha-gal into the body. This molecule triggers a potentially severe allergic reaction to red meat and other mammal-based products.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 110,000 suspected cases of Alpha-gal Syndrome were reported between 2010 and 2022, however the true number is believed to be much higher due to underdiagnosis and lack of awareness in the medical community.

“Every week, I hear of more cases near me,” said Dr Ben Braddock. “Some farmers and ranchers can’t even go near their livestock. The government needs to treat this with much more urgency.”

In a 2016 panel discussion at the World Science Festival, bioethicist Dr. S. Matthew Liao explored speculative ideas about “human engineering” to address climate change, including reducing meat consumption.

Liao mentioned the Lone Star tick’s possible role in “engineering” humanity by causing red meat allergies, heralding the possibility as an example of how biology can influence dietary habits.  (See link for article and video)

**Comment**

Alpha Gal Syndrome (AGS) recently made The Jimmy Dore Show.  He shares that Bill Gates, who regularly partnered with USAID, and who is a prominent globalist who wants the world’s population to be reduced, funded research into genetically engineered cattle. Suddenly, people have meat allergies.

‘Fact checkers’ are frantically debunking this, by stating only the lone star tick transmits it, but here’s the deal: AGS is relatively new.  Scientists don’t have a clue what and how many ticks can transmit it.

Gates is also behind the manufacture of GM mosquitos that have been released creating hybrid wild mosquitoes.

History has proven that proclaiming a tick only transmits this or that eventually ends up being proven false.

So far the following ticks have been identified as perps for AGS:

• Asian longhorned tick has caused AGS in Asia, but the tick has made its way here to the U.S.
• Cayenne tick found in South Texas and Florida has also been linked to AGS in Central America.
• As recently as April, 2025 a pair of research papers for the FIRST TIME have identified that black-legged ticks and western black-legged ticks can also cause AGS. Please note this evidence has not been obtained by lab experiments, but a case study of a woman who developed the condition after being bitten by a western black-legged tick and a case study of another woman after being bitten by a black-legged tick.

Until ticks, birds, mammals, and reptiles get the memo that they aren’t supposed to cross boundary lines, good luck stopping them from showing up where they shouldn’t be and transmitting stuff they shouldn’t have!

I find it mind boggling that there are NO lab experiments determining what ticks transmit this considering the anaphylactic shock from it can be fatal

Plus, are you sitting down?  

• You don’t even need a tick bite to get this.  To my knowledge, the only reason ticks have been blamed at all is because certain tick’s saliva contains trace quantities of a sugar, alpha-gal, a known human irritant that many researchers and clinicians believe induces the dangerous allergic responses that are the hallmark of AGS.  But, just because you believe something, doesn’t make it true.
• Symptoms are often delayed making it hard to pinpoint the cause.
• There are no insurance billing codes for AGS.
• Since it’s not a reportable illness to the CDC, nobody has a clue about prevalence.
• Not everyone bitten by a tick containing AGS will develop AGS and not everyone who carries antibodies to AGS will get AGS, and a positive test does not always mean a person has been exposed to alpha-gal.  Confused yet?
• The number of lab-confirmed cases grew from 12 in 2009 to over 34,000 in 2019.
• There’s no treatment for it – just avoiding anything that triggers symptoms.
• Similar to Lyme, you can have coinfections with AGS, making symptoms and treatment even more challenging

Some farmers can’t go near their livestock, and for some, it’s not just meat, it’s any product made from mammals like lard, milk, cream, ice cream, cheese, gelatin, lanolin, glycerin, collagen, jello, medications, anti-venom, surgical mesh, carrageenan, ‘natural flavorings’, tallow, and vaccines.

Regarding anaphylaxis:  A 2021 study described cases of severe anaphylaxis in individuals receiving vaccines containing gelatin. The authors stated:

“Gelatin-containing vaccines should be administered with caution or avoided in patients with AGS because of their high potential to activate basophils indicating a risk for anaphylaxis.”

And of course the ‘overheating planet’ and milder winters are repeated like a mantra as the cause of all the mayhem due to ticks supposedly expanding their ranges, which has been disproven by independent science.  

Nobody ever wants to talk about the very real 50 year history of geoengineering – spraying our skies with toxic elements in the name of ‘climate change,’ or the fact our own government has experimented on and force fed ticks with pathogens and then dumped them from airplanes, conducted biological experiments on allied soldiers, and experimented on prisoners.

The Jimmy Dore Show presented that there is a new patented FDA approved genetically modified breed of pig called GalSafe pigs, which are modified to eliminate alpha-gal so those suffering from AGS can still eat pork.

The pPL657 rDNA construct which integrated into the genome consisted of the DNA sequence used to disrupt the GGTA1 gene and the sequence of the neomycin phosphotransferase (nptII) gene, an antimicrobial resistance marker.

Because the nptII gene is a known antimicrobial resistance marker, it was used as a molecular biology tool during the development of the IGA.

Based on evidence from the scientific literature, information in databases of the DNA and amino acid sequences of known food allergens and toxins, and the permitted use of the nptII gene in genetically engineered plants intended for human food, FDA concluded that it is unlikely that the protein encoded by the nptII gene is a food allergen or other human food safety hazard.

Well, we’ll see how that one works out…..

What do you bet that this too will lead to another patentable product?
