Bushmeat and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Bushmeat is a term used to describe meat obtained from wild animals, typically in forested regions. This can include a wide variety of species, such as primates, antelopes, rodents, and other mammals. The consumption of bushmeat is common in certain cultures and regions but presents health risks, not only due to zoonotic diseases but also because of the presence of mammalian meat, which can trigger allergic reactions in individuals with alpha-gal syndrome.
