flag U.S. ranchers, especially in the South, are abandoning farms due to tickborne red meat allergy, causing widespread distress and economic strain.

flag Ranchers across the U.S., especially in the South, are increasingly diagnosed with alpha-gal syndrome, a tickborne allergy to red meat, dairy, and possibly other animal products, forcing many to alter or abandon livestock operations. flag A national survey of 201 affected farmers found 69% changed work tasks, 57% had daily symptoms, and high rates of depression and anxiety, with 78% distressed over farm productivity. flag Some have hired help, retired early, or closed family farms. flag While reactions to non-food animal materials remain uncertain, symptoms are real and severe. flag Treatment is costly and hard to access, and advocacy groups warn of growing public health and agricultural impacts.
