Requires the West Virginia Department of Health to report positive alpha-gal syndrome tests to the CDC.

West Virginia Senate Bill 773 mandates the Department of Health to propose legislative rules that include alpha-gal syndrome on the list of diseases that must be reported to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Alpha-gal syndrome is a serious allergic reaction to red meat that can occur after a person is bitten by certain ticks. This bill aims to ensure that health officials track and report cases of this condition to better understand its prevalence and impact.
