A member asked:

I have never had a pork allergy, but in the last 3 weeks whenever i eat bacon the hives appear, could i have acquired this allergy? and they continue to appear even when taking loratadine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You may have acquired allergy to alpha-gal that is present in meats. It would be prudent to avoid foods that cause symptoms. Visit this site for information: https://www.cdc.gov/ticks/alpha-gal/index.html
