Abstract

Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is a unique allergy to the carbohydrate galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose, which is found in mammalian products, excluding humans and Old World primates. As its prevalence increases, we are learning that AGS has broader geographical range and wider medical impact than initially recognized.
