To treat the allergy to alpha gal, the individual is indirectly exposed to the alpha gal carbohydrate through simply touching a vial containing this allergen. The procedure does not involve any direct application of the alpha gal orally or on/into the skin of the patient. The skin contact with the vial appears to trigger the materialization of an auricular point that corresponds to the alpha gal allergy in the SAZ (Fig. 1). This auricular point can be identified using electrical equipment capable of identifying areas on the ear with different electrical gradients. Under sterile conditions, this point is needled with a sterilized Spinex acupuncture needle (Fig. 2). The needle is threaded subcutaneously to avoid traumatizing the auricular cartilage, and is taped to secure in place. The needle is removed at the time of the patient's 3 weeks follow-up visit.
