Join the New Orleans Mosquito, Termite, and Rodent Control Board and Gulf South Vector for an exciting SPECIAL TOPIC WEBINAR featuring a first-hand account of a patient with Alpha-Gal Syndrome and a clinical explanation of this relatively new condition. Alpha-gal syndrome, or the red meat allergy, is an allergic reaction to mammal meat (pork, beef, lamb, goat, etc.) and mammal products caused by a tick bite. Dr. John Carlson, an allergist/immunologist in the Ochsner Health System, will present the clinical view and Dr. Mark Janowiecki, a Research Entomologist with the City of New Orleans Mosquito, Termite and Rodent Control Board will present tick biology and tick prevention from the patient’s perspective.
