While awareness surrounding AGS continues to grow, many patients still report needing to explain the condition themselves during:

• surgeries

• emergency room visits

• medication discussions

• hospital admissions

• routine procedures

To help support patient safety and improve awareness, TickBiteData has created a printable healthcare awareness one-pager designed to be shared with:

• physicians

• nurses

• pharmacists

• dietary staff

• hospitals and clinics

The guide includes:

✅ a brief explanation of AGS

✅ common triggers and mammalian-derived concerns

✅ symptom considerations

✅ hospital and medication awareness points

✅ anaphylaxis caution information

The goal is simple: help improve communication, awareness, and patient safety in healthcare settings.

Because patients should not have to navigate these conversations alone.
