🚨 Alpha-gal syndrome, a serious and potentially life-threatening allergy triggered by tick bites, has emerged as a serious public-health concern.

Here's what you can do to protect yourself, according to Nancy Hinkle, Extension veterinary entomologist for the state of Georgia:

▪️ Wear long clothing and tuck pants into socks.
▪️ Wear permethrin-treated garments, which can kill ticks on contact.
▪️ Stay on established trails and out of tall grass and brush.
▪️ Perform careful tick checks as soon as you return home.
▪️ Make sure your pets are treated with preventive chemicals.

Professor Hinkle emphasizes that no tick bite is harmless and that avoiding tick bites is crucial for preventing both known and yet undiscovered tick-borne diseases.
