hooowww bizarre. I’m a total amateur, but my thought: a tick bites a mammal with this delicious Alpha-gal sugar, and picks some up. then it bites a human, and delivers some Alpha-gal along with its usual payload. the human’s immune system responds to the nasties that the tick delivered, and while there, incidentally/accidentally responds to the sugars as well. is this possible?
