Tick Control for Yards Nashville TN | Lone Star Ticks | Alpha-Gal Risk Awareness

In this short explainer, we’re breaking down the first confirmed fatality linked to alpha-gal syndrome — a delayed red-meat allergy caused by lone star tick bites — and what we can do here in Middle Tennessee to reduce the risk. We walk through common symptoms (hives, GI distress, swelling, even anaphylaxis), why reactions can show up as late as 8 hours after eating red meat, and the most effective prevention steps: permethrin-treated clothing, DEET or picaridin, smart trail habits, thorough tick checks, and professional yard tick control from Mosquito Squad of Nashville.

If you ever develop GI or allergic symptoms after eating red meat, make sure to mention AGS to your clinician — and if diagnosed, talk to them about carrying epinephrine.
