I'm excited to announce the launch of my podcast, Questions People Ask, that answers timely questions in medicine, science and more. The first 2 episodes are everything you need to know about alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) for patients and healthcare providers.

Congratulations to Andy Commins for breaking the @uncwswimdive 200 Fly program record with a 1:45.63!

Andy called me at 7 a.m. on the first day the transfer portal opened. He didn’t call to ask about UNCW — he called to tell me this is where he wanted to be.

Andy made the call.

[Todd Wolfson @CoachWolfson]

Go where YOU are wanted.

I am grateful to @GOPDoctors caucus for hosting a discussion about alpha-gal syndrome & the role of federal funding in its discovery. Your full attention, engagement, and support for patient care and science was evident.

@Lymenews @LymeDiseaseLDA Pat was a gem. I am a better person - we are all better people - for having shared this world with her. We must carry on to honor her, and do the work she would want us to do.

@theticklab @ssurendraraj Actual ticks and actual pork! This is THE murine model of #alphagalsyndome. Thanks to @theticklab for leading the way and helping to define the risk from various species of ticks. All bites are not the same!

[Shahid Karim @theticklab]

Super excited to share a new paper! @ssurendraraj, @scott_commins, #AGS, #ticks, #Amblyomma

@VenterCarina @NoNutTraveler Sad to admit, this one did not. I’m gonna take an audience poll at the #SEAAI mtg this weekend

Alpha-gal syndrome – a reaction to a sugar found red meat and dairy products that is caused by lone star ticks – may now be the 10th most common food allergy in the US, according to new CDC estimates. It is also one of the least recognized. https://t.co/rgfsMdMUA9

[The Associated Press @AP]

More than 100,000 people in the U.S. have become allergic to red meat since 2010 because of a weird syndrome triggered by bites from the lone star tick, according to a new report by the CDC. https://t.co/XBYiBg0Nwo

[LenaSun @bylenasun]

NEW: Tick-linked red meat allergy may be far more common than previously known. New @CDCgov data suggests up to 450,000 people may have developed this condition since 2010, which is linked to bite of lone star tick. Corrected tweet here. https://t.co/MimvU4kIhx

Enlisted daughter Grace to help with a little data entry during Covid. She recoded the database and saved the study. For this she earned authorship on our work w CDC published today establishing tick bite-AGS link. @CDC_NCEZID @gracecommins #WomenInSTEM https://t.co/KJa4ZW4XWh
