[quote]The drug company is aware of this allergy and it is simple to test for Alpha-Gal but unless you search both Erbitux and Tick Bite together you will not find any information about it. Not in the literature or package insert or anything on-line.[/quote]
This seems criminal. If there is a known fatal reaction, or at least serious, it sure seems this should be noted on all information associated with the drug.
Clearly, the drug company would rather keep these things quiet, especially in very low incidence cases, but it is still quite disturbing to learn the FDA does not have more standards in place to warn practitioners.
