Hello everyone, 

Thanks so much for supporting our petition to raise awareness and understanding of Alpha Gal Syndrome. I wanted to share a few recent news articles about this severe allergy with you. 

We're speaking to journalists about my brother's story so, if you're in the UK, watch out for more information coming to screens or papers near you! 

• BBC News: Alpha-gal syndrome: Meat allergy linked to tick bites rising, CDC says
• Mail Online: Nearly half a million Americans have developed a red meat allergy after being bitten by a TICK - and majority are completely unaware of the link, CDC research says
• Mail Online: Now tick bites spark a deadly meat allergy - and even the SMELL of sizzling bacon can trigger a reaction including itching and breathing difficulties

Please continue to share the petition and spread the word among your family, friends and colleagues. The more people who know about Alpha Gal Syndrome, the easier it will be for sufferers to be diagnosed and supported to manage this life-altering condition. 

Thank you,

Lydia
