Alpha-Gal Syndrome after <i>Ixodes scapularis</i> Tick Bite and Statewide Surveillance, Maine, USA, 2014–2023
In the United States, alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is primarily associated with lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum) bites. We describe AGS onset after an Ixodes scapularis tick bite and present AGS surveillance in Maine, 2014-2023. US health and public health professionals should be aware of AGS outside the established lone star tick range.
