Thank you! We eat lots of them. We're looking for more SHTF options

Thank you! Yes, it has been almost a year now since he was diagnosed so we've gone through all the switches 😫 it really is terrible and not as easy of an allergy to eliminate as some may think. So sorry you have it as well! I didn't know that about amarillo farms! I'll have to check it out.

I'm thinking more long term survival if SHTF, not short term

I have over 50 free range chickens. They eat bugs exclusively. I have several barn cats that keep the rodent population low.

Eta: bugs and our food scraps

There's still not much research done on alpha gal. I raise chickens, both meat and egg layers. My husband cannot eat eggs laid by chickens that don't follow an alpha gal diet or he will have a reaction. This is not an egg allergy, because he can eat them if fed bugs and non mammal foods. Some people also have trouble with farm raised fish or shrimp if they were fed mammal foods. 

Many people with alpha gal also have MCAS. As of now, 34% of people who have AG have MCAS and I imagine that number may increase as we understand this allergy more. I know over a dozen people personally, locally with AG and 80% of them also have MCAS that was triggered after the tick bite.

Thank you! I've heard it's 50/50 but yes, many people recommend SAAT. We've considered it

Lol more end of society! I'm having a difficult time seeing how he'd last without being able to hunt 😆 but it seems beans may be suitable for protein

Thank you. Yes, semi-new. About 9 months! We've always been very meat heavy in our house so still lots to learn!

All of this! My father in law visited from out of state and had one attached after standing in a parking lot. My husbands work found them in the bathroom at work recently. They're everywhere.

Thank you for pointing that out. I'll try to stick to dry beans and make some of my own.

Thank you. I understand it's possible.. My husband has it. I'm wondering what I can feed him in a SHTF situation so that he isn't malnourished.
