Abstract
Alpha-gal syndrome is a serious, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction to mammalian products that has been linked to the lone star tick. Early recognition and management of alpha-gal syndrome is key for desirable patient outcomes and informed nursing care can make all the difference. The purpose of this article is to provide background information regarding alpha-gal syndrome, review common sources of potential reaction triggers including food and medications, and discuss strategies to detect and avoid allergic reactions from occurring.
