Alpha Gal Syndrome is Beyond meat lace with insects!

This is what AI will tell you.

Overlapping Symptoms Between Alpha-Gal Syndrome and Insect Sting Reactions

Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) and insect sting reactions can share many of the same allergic symptom patterns, especially when both involve a delayed-type hypersensitivity (Type IV) or IgE-mediated response to a foreign protein.

Common overlapping symptoms include:

·        Skin reactions:

·        Hives (urticaria) – raised, itchy welts on the skin, often the first sign https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=92e4af42f296e6fcc9e41ec454980e9e3bf7f881bab08da67450c6bc65a2aafcJmltdHM9MTc4NjQwNjQwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=0e032067-cbf0-6c55-10d3-37cbca7c6d06&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmV5b25kYWxwaGFnYWwub3JnL3N5bXB0b21z&ntb=1.

·        Angioedema – swelling beneath the skin, especially of lips, tongue, throat, or eyelids https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=92e4af42f296e6fcc9e41ec454980e9e3bf7f881bab08da67450c6bc65a2aafcJmltdHM9MTc4NjQwNjQwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=0e032067-cbf0-6c55-10d3-37cbca7c6d06&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmV5b25kYWxwaGFnYWwub3JnL3N5bXB0b21z&ntb=1.

·        Flushing – redness and warmth spreading over the face, neck, or chest https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=92e4af42f296e6fcc9e41ec454980e9e3bf7f881bab08da67450c6bc65a2aafcJmltdHM9MTc4NjQwNjQwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=0e032067-cbf0-6c55-10d3-37cbca7c6d06&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmV5b25kYWxwaGFnYWwub3JnL3N5bXB0b21z&ntb=1.

·        Coughing or nasal congestion/discharge (rhinitis) https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=92e4af42f296e6fcc9e41ec454980e9e3bf7f881bab08da67450c6bc65a2aafcJmltdHM9MTc4NjQwNjQwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=0e032067-cbf0-6c55-10d3-37cbca7c6d06&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmV5b25kYWxwaGFnYWwub3JnL3N5bXB0b21z&ntb=1.

·        Gastrointestinal symptoms:

·        Severe systemic reaction (anaphylaxis):

·        A combination of the above symptoms, potentially leading to loss of consciousness or respiratory collapse https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=344410bb7c0b988c580953d25b58fa2365d8157905acc4e821f4fdaa0c3c6eeaJmltdHM9MTc4NjQwNjQwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=0e032067-cbf0-6c55-10d3-37cbca7c6d06&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY2RjLmdvdi9hbHBoYS1nYWwtc3luZHJvbWUvc2lnbnMtc3ltcHRvbXMvaW5kZXguaHRtbA&ntb=1https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=344410bb7c0b988c580953d25b58fa2365d8157905acc4e821f4fdaa0c3c6eeaJmltdHM9MTc4NjQwNjQwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=0e032067-cbf0-6c55-10d3-37cbca7c6d06&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY2RjLmdvdi9hbHBoYS1nYWwtc3luZHJvbWUvc2lnbnMtc3ltcHRvbXMvaW5kZXguaHRtbA&ntb=1.

Key similarity: Both AGS and insect sting reactions can cause anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction involving multiple organ systems. In AGS, the reaction is typically delayed (2–6 hours after exposure) due to slower absorption of alpha-gal from the gut https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=344410bb7c0b988c580953d25b58fa2365d8157905acc4e821f4fdaa0c3c6eeaJmltdHM9MTc4NjQwNjQwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=0e032067-cbf0-6c55-10d3-37cbca7c6d06&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY2RjLmdvdi9hbHBoYS1nYWwtc3luZHJvbWUvc2lnbnMtc3ltcHRvbXMvaW5kZXguaHRtbA&ntb=1https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=344410bb7c0b988c580953d25b58fa2365d8157905acc4e821f4fdaa0c3c6eeaJmltdHM9MTc4NjQwNjQwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=0e032067-cbf0-6c55-10d3-37cbca7c6d06&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY2RjLmdvdi9hbHBoYS1nYWwtc3luZHJvbWUvc2lnbnMtc3ltcHRvbXMvaW5kZXguaHRtbA&ntb=1, whereas insect stings often cause immediate reactions (minutes to hours). However, the symptom profile — hives, swelling, breathing difficulty, GI upset, and cardiovascular collapse — can be identical.

Why they overlap:

·        Both involve immune recognition of a foreign protein (alpha-gal in AGS; venom proteins in insect stings).

·        Both can trigger IgE-mediated and/or non-IgE-mediated pathways, leading to similar inflammatory responses.

·        Both can progress to anaphylaxis if not treated promptly.

Important:While the onset timing differs, the symptom overlap means that a person with AGS could have a reaction that looks like an insect sting, and vice versa. This is why accurate diagnosis (e.g., blood testing for alpha-gal antibodies) is essential to avoid misattribution and ensure proper avoidance strategies

Peggy, thank you for all you do. My husband, who was fighting cancer in 2020 ff, never put on a mask and when his oncologist told him to get the shot, he just smiled and walked out of the office. He never put on a mask or complied. He looked at me and said, "When the government tells you to comply, you NEVER comply. It is a "tell" of their corruption." I remember watching the press conferences with Fraudci and Trump and my spirit told me that Fraudci was evil. Was it not evident when he took the 5th last week? Look at the eyes. It was rough but worth it. And NOW, oh the silence from those who castigated us! Look at the seniors---strokes, cancer, et al. What a tragedy!

It was NEVER about health! The Powers That Should Not Be were ALWAYS about they want you DEAD or a SLAVE! This is a painful truth to accept but we the people must wake up and fight back! And toxic injections/pills were/are a huge part of their arsenal!

This horrifying Congress Critters, Gates, Governor 'Gruesome Newscum', 'Lone Scum', Soros, 'Benedict' Biden and Harris and even Trump, Vance, and 'Ramaswampy' et al are blatant fully owned and operated puppets of their globalist technocrat parasite masters same as other numerous 'PUBLIC SERPENTS' infesting by design from above, the bureaucratic apparatus.

Can't say this often enough! The Military/Industrial Complex and the Biowarfare/industrial Complex, WEF agenda and the evils assaulting humanity are from one and the same source - it is the 99% against the diabolical GREED of the 0.01% who should not be in charge of anything!

The monsters in human skin suits who rule the world get a sadistic vampiric thrill and boost from perpetrating the vilest most demonic crimes against the most vulnerable (babies and small children) and then corrupting the system to get away with it scot free!

I was in Switzerland during most of the scamdemic, and despite the fact that I was overstaying, and risked being deported if one of the many controllers checked my papers, I did my best to turn up my nose at the mask requirement, going into stores, and riding the trains without a mask.

This is a stand-out memory for all the wrong reasons… my little grandson (then 5 yrs) and I were standing in a queue outside a supermarket store waiting to gain entry via the security guard’s hand signal… of course, everyone - with the exception of myself and grandson - in that lengthy queue had their mouths covered. I turned to my grandson and said, in a loud voice,

“I wonder how many people will be wearing these suffocation devices when summer comes?”

The fallout was instant - like throwing a hand grenade! People were shouting and screaming at me, which made my grandson cry - then when I was belittled for “making the child cry”, my grandson shouted to the accusers:

“NO! It’s YOU lot who is making me cry!”

There was such a disturbance that the security guard refused me entry, and upon my insistence, he called the manager who also refused me entry and told me to leave the premises immediately! I never darkened the doors of a supermarket for the remainder of the nonsense, choosing to pay the inflated prices charged by small Asian corner stores. And from that day on, I didn’t leave home without leaflets I compiled with your info, Peggy,

on the absurdity and harms of masking. Many people accepted them; many didn’t. Nevertheless, it made me feel good!

Another experience…

Here in the UK we experienced a time when we were allowed only to purchase items deemed ‘essential’ by our Gestapo, I mean government, and supermarket shelves were covered with polythene sheets. My first act of non-compliance - again I was with my grandson - was when we needed a wooden spoon for our baking session that day. I had no idea about the ridiculous new ‘essential’ only rule, and sent my grandson off to search for the item. He located it but was disappointed that it was under cover. I told him not to worry, swiftly pulled the sheeting to one side, and took the ‘non-essential’ item to the cash desk, where the cashier didn’t bat an eyelid! I walked out feeling triumphant💪. It later became apparent that the ‘law’ meant cashiers could not refuse to transact if a non-essential item arrived at the till point. Needless to say, I took great pleasure in continuing to remove & purchase ‘non-essential’ items in every store I visited!

NB - I chose to indoctrinate my grandson with the truth (gently) before the education system did with their propaganda.

And, no one mentions that it is a federal crime to wear a mask in a bank and OSHA already has rules and studies on why masks are bad, limiting their use on workers - because they are harmful!

Hi Peggy, One of my favorite videos of the past is when you were Moxy Girl - people were apparently commenting on your appearance - and you put your lipstick on right in front of us. If you don't like my lipstick, don't watch. and I still have the freeze frame memory of your moxy in that and you are Moxy Girl - showing us how we can be strong. We just don't have to go with it - choices . . . Make good choices and stand up for what you believe in, matters of principle. I am so with you Peggy. You go girl!

I never once entertained the idea of putting anything over my mouth, HOWEVER, I was incredibly shocked to see my ‘awake’ freedom-fighting adult nieces and nephews don masks to check-in to a local hotel (prior to a funeral next day). I have these family members to thank for my awakening which led me to you. I DID NOT COMPLY and simply told the receptionist that I do NOT wear masks - the response was:

“THAT’S OK BUT AT THE BUFFET BREAKFAST YOU WILL HAVE TO REMAIN SEATED FOR A MEMBER OF STAFF TO SERVE YOU”.

I was actually thrilled to bits 😃 at the thought of being waited on, while the 😷 wearers queued like compliant idiots!

Like you Peggy, I will NEVER comply! 💪

You and Jeff Childers were the best thing to happen during ConVID. Horrible times I’d like to forget but can’t. My SIL got the booster and had brain seizures a few weeks afterwards. They put her in a medically induced coma and a few weeks later she has no short term memory and is now bed bound after 5 more hospital and rehab stays. It’s been and is horrific. My mom got ConVID and they would not let me in the hospital while she was there. She was 80 yo and alone. When she screamed out for help they drugged her up then put her in isolation. They had no issues with telling me this. I have much more to say as so much happened but it puts me in a bad spot when I go down that road. I will never forgive nor forget what they did to us and how I was treated, by family, friends, school administrators, local businesses and my city officials. All despicable.

I was walked out, or as they put it, "separated," by Christie Clinic in Champaign-Urbana, IL in 2024 for refusing to mask because I have a religious exemption for the flu jab. Human resources practiced medicine without a license by authorizing that we wear a suffocation device 100% even in the stairwells, eat lunch alone, and be 6 foot distanced from everyone while siping a drink. No amount of data in hundreds of studies given to them would make them reconsider their outdated and non-scientific policy. I rename them the Christie Governmental Experimentation Station.

Hi Peggy!Not sure if my other comments were posted. COVIDwas a wake up call for those willing to stand back and discern what was really going on. I became engaged in many patriotic and freedom organizations. One of the most effective is STARRs.us. They were started by two Air Force Academy graduates (I am one also). STARRs.us has two main missions: one two help all service members who were being forced or forced out of the military for refusing the bioweapon jab and two to stop DEI in the military. They are an effective and very engaged organization! Cheers and thank you for your honest and deeply researched updates!

Once the house arrest tyranny started during the height of the hysteria, I came home and got all the bikes ready-me and my kids did a midnight run down the center lane of PCH in Laguna just to make the statement that we will not comply-I still keep the picture of us in the parking lot of the laguna hotel that night. It was like nuclear winter-no one anywhere, concrete road blocks and fencing to keep people off the beach- what collective madness that was.

Never comply-Gates is already bragging about the next one <they cook up in some lab?> It will be worse next time since NO ONE has been held accountable for anything-in fact big Pharma made billions via the unholy partnership with mainstream media and the government. We are still funding MRNA 'research' with our tax money even under RFK jr.! Get ready-buck up and prepare yourself financially, physically and spiritually as we will likely be tested in even more extreme measure as COVID was just a warmup IMHO for the enemies of humanity.

That is so awesome, Jeff! I like your act of normalcy that was construed as defiance!

I did not have much problem. I just walked into the store without a mask, just like normal, and I was mostly ignored. I explained to a few people that I have a breathing condition that makes me unable to wear a mask safely (asthma, but you don't have to tell strangers your medical info) and most were okay with that. I did run into a few people who were merciless to the handicapped, which made my blood run cold. But not often. I told Walmart entrance guard "exempt" and walked in like that totally took care of it, so it did. After a few months, I just ignored them. They seemed to lose morale over time.

When I saw other sane people (i.e. maskless) I thanked them for their beautiful Godly face. (After Covidcon, there are no ugly faces anymore.)

Kris's avatar

Esther, I was in one of the most tyrannical states, Oregon...but I didn't change a thing, I just did my normal routine, which does not involve much interaction with people. Once a week I loosely tied a sheer chiffon scarf over my face, and did my grocery shopping in 15 minutes. Whenever I went in a store wearing that scarf, I covered it with a sign reading: SAFETY THEATER IS TYRANNY. My area was over-run with Covid Karens, so I expected some pushback. It never happened. What did happen was that folks would come up to me to shake my hand and say they wished they had the courage to do the same. I don't feel like it took any courage at all. That's when I realized how important it is not to stay silent.

That's great, Esther. I wish more people did that too!!
