## Caption

Tickborne diseases, such as Lyme Disease, have had people reaching for bug spray for years. Then, last summer, news of another tick-related side effect began making headlines: bites from the lone star tick were found to trigger allergies to meat in some victims. NYITCOM at A-State medical student Landon Jackson has been researching this phenomenon (known as Mammalian Meat Allergy) by looking at the carbohydrate molecule alpha-gal. His study, “Mammalian meat allergy following a tick bite: a case report,” was published in Oxford University Press’ Oxford Medical Case Reports in February 2018.
This isn’t the first time Jackson has published his research. The second-year medical student also wrote an article examining a pediatric trauma surgery case for Oxford University Press’ Journal of Surgical Case Reports in December 2016.
