The Alpha-gal Allergen Inclusion Act (H.R. 1178) and its Senate companion bill S.5498 would add alpha-gal to the definition of major food allergens disclosed on labels, the way milk, eggs, and peanuts are already disclosed.

The current Congress has only a few weeks of work left after the election. This is the last chance for the Alpha-gal Allergen Inclusion Act to pass before this Congress ends.

These cranberry jalapeño meatballs are made with chicken instead of beef or pork. The dried cranberries add sweetness, the jalapeños bring a little heat, and they taste good without needing a sauce. I like making a double or triple batch and freezing the cooked extras for later.

Here's the recipe:

Cranberry jalapeno meatballs mix chicken sausage, dried cranberries, and fresh peppers. Broil about 40 for a party, or freeze some for later.

“Vegan” and “dairy-free” can help narrow your Halloween candy search, but neither label answers every alpha-gal question.

Carrageenan, glycerin, natural flavors, sugar processing, shared equipment, and individual sensitivities may still matter.

This guide explains what those labels tell you, what they leave unanswered, and how to investigate the details that matter to you. 👇

Have a friend or family member planning to rake leaves, clear brush, or clean up the garden this fall? Share this article with them first.

It includes expert tips for reducing the risk of tick bites during fall yardwork. A few simple precautions could help them avoid alpha-gal syndrome or another tickborne illness—and that’s far better than learning about either one the hard way.

Cooler weather sends homeowners outside to rake leaves, clear brush and close gardens after a long summer.

If alpha-gal has made you anxious, you’re far from alone. And, you're not being dramatic.

This condition asks us to think about risks that most people never need to consider. Food, medications, personal-care products, cross-contact, eating away from home, and future tick bites can all add another item to the list of worries.

In an exploratory survey of more than 2,000 alpha-gal patients, 6 out of 10 reported anxiety related to the condition. (Read the full study here: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mapping-your-mental-health-journey/202609/anxiety-is-alpha-gal-syndromes-overlooked-side)
