Of five patients who did not report tick bites, three had at least a three-fold decrease in α-Gal IgE levels (No. 38, No. 41, and No. 46). [...]one of them had not experienced symptoms after the diagnosis (No. 38). [...]AGS patients with severe reactions should strictly be avoiding α-Gal containing food as well as tick bites.
