Abstract
Alpha-gal syndrome is an acquired mammalian meat allergy transmitted via tick bite. Herein, we describe a case of alpha-gal syndrome in the Northern United States that goes unrecognized by multiple healthcare professionals. This case highlights the importance of keeping this diagnosis in mind when treating patients with unexplained urticaria and anaphylaxis.
