State Representative Daniel Swanson (IL) | Representative Dan Swanson (R) 71st District
Rep. Dan Swanson, a Republican from Alpha, has introduced legislation concerning the alpha-gal syndrome due to personal experiences within his family. His mother has lived with the disease for several years without seeking treatment because she understands how to manage it.
Swanson stated, "She’s lived with this now for several years but has never sought treatment because she knows how to control it." He explained further challenges his mother faces: "She can’t go into McDonald’s or a restaurant where they actually fry burgers on an open grill because that aroma will cause the shock that she goes through."
The bill has received unanimous support and is now headed to Governor Pritzker's desk for consideration.
