    AnnotationWe read with great interest the cross-sectional study presented by Fischer et al. showing the higher risk to develop red meat allergy in individuals exposed to ticks and with a high prevalence of anti-a-Gal IgE response. The a-Gal syndrome is a tick-related allergy, affecting individuals mainly in Europe, the United States, and Australia. The sensitization mediated by the IgE response to tick-produced proteins with a-Gal modifications could result in anaphylactic reactions to tick bite and/or red meat consumption.
