Thomas Platts-Mills, MD, featured in The Daily Mail

May 18, 2022 by pmb3fz@virginia.edu

Thomas Platts-Mills, MDThe Daily Mail – one of the world’s most-read publications – highlighted the work of Dr. Platts-Mills and his discovery of a meat allergy caused by a tick bite in two recent articles:

“Every American carnivore’s worst nightmare! Thousands – including John Grisham – have developed an allergy to MEAT due to tick bites sparking immune system disorder called ‘Alpha-gal'”

“Up to TEN MILLION Americans may suffer from rare Alpha-gal Syndrome, which causes sufferers to develop an allergy to meat – limited surveillance and odd symptoms could mean many do not even know they have it”
