Red meat allergy emerging in many parts of the US: CDC

View on Watch

A red meat allergy caused by tick bites is an "emerging public health concern," according to two new studies from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is a serious, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that arises after people eat red meat or consume products with alpha-gal, a type of sugar found in most mammals, the CDC says.

The syndrome is typically caused by a bite from the lone star tick, which transfers alpha-gal into the victim's body which in turn triggers an immune system response.

The CDC says the number of AGS cases are underdiagnosed in the U.S. and -- despite the spread of the condition -- many clinicians aren't even aware it exists, let alone how to diagnose it.

Between 2010 and 2022, there were more than 110,000 cases of AGS identified, according to the CDC.

The agency estimates the actual number of cases may be as high as 450,000 but notes the syndrome is underdiagnosed due to factors including that diagnosis requires a test, some providers are not familiar with AGS and some people with symptoms don't get tested.

AGS symptoms can include hives or itchy rash, nausea or vomiting, heartburn or indigestion, diarrhea, shortness of breath, and severe stomach pain. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and typically occur two to six hours after consuming products with alpha-gal.

"Alpha-gal syndrome is an important emerging public health problem, with potentially severe health impacts that can last a lifetime for some patients," Dr. Ann Carpenter, and epidemiologist and lead author of one of the CDC studies, said in a statement.

"It's critical for clinicians to be aware of AGS so they can properly evaluate, diagnose, and manage their patients and also educate them on tick-bite prevention to protect patients from developing this allergic condition," she added.

In one of the CDC studies, the team surveyed 1,500 health care professionals including general practitioners, pediatricians, internists, nurse practitioners and physician assistants.

The survey results showed 42% of the participants had never heard of AGS and 35% said they were "not too confident" in their ability to diagnose or manage AGS patients. Only 5% said they were "very confident" in their ability.

Two-thirds of the health care providers surveyed said clearly defined guidelines on how to diagnose and manage AGS would be helpful. The report's authors described the limited knowledge among providers as "concerning," especially due to the increasing number of AGS cases.

"Improved [health care provider] education might facilitate a rapid diagnosis of AGS, improve patient care, and support public health understanding of this emerging condition," the authors wrote.

In another study, the CDC looked at tests between Jan. 1, 2017 and Dec. 31, 2022 to determine how quickly cases of AGS have increased since 2010.

From 2010 to 2018, more than 34,000 suspected cases were identified. However, over the 2017-2022 study period, some 357,000 tests were submitted, resulting in just over 90,000 positive results.

The number of new cases increased by about 15,000 each year during the five-year study period, with most cases occurring in the Southern, Midwestern, and Mid-Atlantic U.S., the CDC found.

"The burden of alpha-gal syndrome in the United States could be substantial given the large percentage of cases suspected to be going undiagnosed due to non-specific and inconsistent symptoms, challenges seeking healthcare, and lack of clinician awareness," Dr. Johanna Salzer, senior author on both CDC studies, said in a statement. "It's important that people who think they may suffer from AGS see their healthcare provider or an allergist, provide a detailed history of symptoms, get a physical examination, and a blood test that looks for specific antibodies (proteins made by your immune system) to alpha-gal."

The list of health problems linked to vaping just got a little longer.

Dentists are noticing a disturbing uptick in patients who have “vaper’s tongue,” a loss of most or all of the taste in their mouth as a result of vaping flavored electronic cigarettes.

“This is really on the rise because of the popularity of these disposable vapes, which have all these ridiculous flavors,” Dr. Stewart Beggs, a cosmetic dentist in the UK, explained on TikTok. “It causes such a massive increase in nicotine and a really, really dry mouth that you lose your sense of taste completely sometimes.

“It’s really, really, really not good for your health,” added Beggs, as excessive dry mouth can also lead to tooth decay and fungal infections, per the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research.

What is vaper’s tongue?
Vaper’s tongue happens because vaping leads to dehydration and dries the mouth, which can diminish the sensitivity of taste buds, writes Vaping360.com.

E-cigarette vapor can also contain ingredients such as propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin that can coat the tongue and make taste buds less sensitive, according to the National Library of Medicine.

Moreover, e-cigarettes contain nicotine, the addictive component in tobacco cigarettes, so vaping itself becomes an addiction.

Health effects of vaping
Medical experts have been warning about the impact of vaping for years, especially for young people — even though e-cigarettes are supposed to be illegal to sell to people under the age of 21 in most US states.

In 2022, more than 2.5 million middle and high school students in the US had used e-cigarettes in the past 30 days, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey, including 3.3% of middle school students and 14.1% of high school students.

Dr. Stewart Beggs, a cosmetic dentist in the UK, is seeing a rise in cases of “vaper’s tongue.”
That doesn’t compare favorably to adults: The CDC reports that only 4.5% of US adults use e-cigarettes.

As of 2020, more than 2,800 e-cigarette users needed hospital admission due to vaping-related lung injuries, and 68 of these people died, according to the CDC. Most of these cases were among teens and young adults.

A number of cases of lung collapse caused by vaping have been reported, including some in teenagers. Some research has also linked vaping to an increased risk of high blood sugar and diabetes.

Can vaping help smokers quit?
Vaping has, according to proponents, been effective as a steppingstone for people who are trying to quit smoking tobacco, but they are not a safe option for everyone, notes Johns Hopkins Medicine.

Additionally, some experts have found that the reverse is in fact true, and using vapes that contain nicotine often leads to an addiction to tobacco products like cigarettes.

And in a recent study in the journal of Frontiers in Oral Health that compared e-cigarette smokers to cigarette and nonsmokers, “the percentage of severe periodontal disease was much higher in the e-cigarette group than among the non-smokers.”

Earlier this month, the American Heart Association declared that e-cigarettes may be as dangerous to human health as traditional tobacco-filled cigarettes.

“E-cigarettes deliver numerous substances into the body that are potentially harmful, including chemicals and other compounds that are likely not known to or understood by the user,” Dr. Jason Rose, a professor at the University of Maryland’s School of Medicine, said in an AHA news release.

“[E]ven when nicotine is not present, ingredients in e-cigarettes, particularly flavoring agents, independently carry risks associated with heart and lung diseases in animals,” Rose added.

E-cigarette companies insist that their products are a way to quit smoking traditional cigarettes, but there is no strong evidence to support this beyond any short-term benefit, according to the AHA statement.

Acclaimed Irish singer Sinéad O’Connor, known for hits such as “Nothing Compares 2 U” and for shredding a photo of the pope while hosting “Saturday Night Live,” has died.

She was 56.

A cause of death was not given. The singer had lost her son, Shane, to suicide in January 2022, after which she was briefly hospitalized.

Back in 1990, her famed cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” was named the number one world single at the Billboard Music Awards. During a decades-long career, the Dublin-based singer released 10 studio albums.

Earlier this year she received a standing ovation at the RTÉ Choice Music Awards in receiving the first-ever award for Classic Irish Album, according to The Irish Times, which first reported her death.

She dedicated the award, for “I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got,” to “each and every member of Ireland’s refugee community,” The Irish Times noted.

In October 1992 O’Connor notoriously tore up a photo of Pope John Paul II during a 1992 appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” calling it a protest against widespread allegations of child abuse in the Catholic Church — presaging the public revelations by about a decade.

AR doctor 'held patients against their will' in alleged Medicaid scam
A top Arkansas psychiatrist has been accused of holding two dozen patients against their will for days and weeks as part of an $800,000 Medicaid scam, lawsuits claim. Dr. Brian Hyatt (pictured right), 50, faces suits from at least 26 victims who claim they were held for days, and sometimes weeks, in his unit at Northwest Medical Center. 'They sent in four nurses, techs and they each grabbed my arms and my legs and held me down on my stomach and shot me up with a sedative,' one victim who was held for five days claimed.

I know a couple people whom during the covid days, were isolated and told they had covid. No test taken. I guess they did not realize the power of family.

First we got him outta the room with an alleged real covid patient. And then his children and wife gave them hell.

Don't leave a relative alone in a hospital at this time. Make sure the staff sees you and hears from you.

They would not even give this Patient whom was just having trouble walking due to parkinsons, any hydration, nor a walking device.

I guess hospitals got used to the alleged power they had. And thought they could keep family members out so they could make lots of money fraudulently.

So many i prayed for at covid forums for 3 1/2 years, had the family posting that they were denied even looking in a buggery bollocks window at their loved ones.

Some medical personnel cried boo hoo when they were caught. But they were being paid to keep people isolated and no family allowed, at least in NY. They made a fortune on "covid: patients even if they were not covid patients.

We are responsible for our own care. You don't take the word of any so called medical professional as to why u cannot enter a LOVED one's hospital room. Even now. At least in NY they keep threatening we have 2 more strains of covid manifesting in sore throat type stuff.

In older days we trusted medical professionals. Don't do so anymore. They make big money in diagnosing people erroneously.
