The fact is, either you or someone you know has been, or will be, affected by tickborne illness. These illnesses not only have significant physical impacts, but often result in emotional distress, including depression and anxiety. They make it difficult to enjoy the things we love such as spending time outdoors. Alpha-Gal Syndrome can be socially isolating as we fear accidentally encountering food that that trigger an uncomfortable or potentially dangerous allergic response at gatherings or restaurants.

At best, many of these conditions are short-lived and easily treated with antibiotics coupled with supportive and other kinds of care. At worst, they can be life threatening if not recognized and managed quickly and properly and can have longer term health implications . They disrupt our health and wellbeing, our workforce and our economy.
