Alpha-Gal Syndrome is becoming one of the most talked-about health concerns in the outdoor community, but there’s a lot of confusion, misinformation, and speculation surrounding it.
In this video, Mike Simmons shares his firsthand experience after developing Alpha-Gal following a tick bite. We discuss what happened, the symptoms he experienced, how it affected his daily life, and the years-long journey that followed.
Now, after years of avoiding red meat, Mike has finally been cleared by his doctor to begin trying it again.
We also discuss practical steps you can take to reduce your risk of tick bites, what to watch for after exposure, and why accurate information matters when it comes to Alpha-Gal Syndrome.
Whether you’re a hunter, hiker, camper, bushcrafter, prepper, or simply spend time outdoors, this is information everyone should know.
Have you or someone you know experienced Alpha-Gal Syndrome? Let us know in the comments.
