Free, practical tick & alpha-gal awareness
LoneStarMap is a free consumer resource that helps people understand Lone Star tick risk, alpha-gal syndrome awareness, and how to protect themselves, their family, pets, and yard.
Why this exists
Most people have never heard of alpha-gal syndrome, even in regions where Lone Star ticks are well established. We built LoneStarMap to make this awareness simple, calm, and practical — without fearmongering.
How we approach information
- Plain-language explanations of public health and tick-surveillance information.
- Clear distinctions between education and medical advice.
- Practical checklists you can actually use before going outside.
Not medical advice
LoneStarMap does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Please see our disclaimer and sources.
