There is no cure for alpha-gal syndrome (AGS). Treatment focuses on avoiding mammalian meat and other alpha-gal–containing foods or products that trigger symptoms. Mild allergic reactions may be treated with antihistamines, whereas severe reactions, including anaphylaxis, require prompt administration of epinephrine. Preventing future tick bites is also important because repeated bites can worsen or prolong the condition.
