I honestly didn’t know about the association of Lyme disease & IBS and, admittedly, thought immediately of gastrointestinal alpha-gal syndrome #AGS #alphaGal #allergy. So much more to learn about #ticks and #immune responses!.

Well-done @DinglasanRhoel! Glad to be included among this group of all-stars and, more importantly, that #alphaGal syndrome (#AGS) was included. We need answers that require a multi-disciplinary approach to VBDs - thanks for assembling this team! @CDC_NCEZID @AlphaGal_RES.
Celebrating the amazing teamwork that led to the $10M renewal of our CDC Southeastern Center of Excellence in Vector-Borne Diseases (SECVBD) & five more years of public health service to the SE.
