Meet the Lone Star Tick.
One Bite. Lifelong Consequences.

Amblyomma americanum
The Lone Star Tick — Identified by its single white dorsal spot

The Lone Star Tick is found across 30+ U.S. states — especially active from April through September. It doesn't just itch. It can permanently reprogram your immune system.

🥩
Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS)
A single bite injects alpha-gal sugar molecules into your bloodstream, triggering an immune response that makes your body allergic to red meat and mammal-derived products — permanently.
Delayed & Deceptive Reactions
Symptoms appear 2–6 hours after eating red meat: hives, stomach cramps, anaphylaxis. People often don't connect their dinner to the tick bite from weeks ago.
📍
No Cure. Prevention Is Everything.
There is no treatment for AGS. Symptoms may improve only if you avoid all further tick bites. The CDC estimates 450,000+ Americans may be affected — most undiagnosed.

One bite from the wrong tick can change your outdoor life forever.

The Lone Star Tick carries a risk most people have never heard of — alpha-gal syndrome. A single, painless bite can trigger a permanent allergic reaction that develops weeks later. No rash. No fever. Just a quiet change that turns everyday life complicated. The good news: it's entirely preventable.

01
The Bite
A Lone Star tick attaches while you're hiking, gardening, or playing outside. The bite is painless — most people never notice it.
Day 0 — Often Undetected
02
Silent Sensitization
The tick injects alpha-gal molecules. Your immune system quietly builds antibodies — a process that unfolds over days or weeks with no obvious symptoms.
Days to Weeks Later
03
Delayed Reaction
Hours after a meal, symptoms appear — hives, stomach cramps, swelling, or anaphylaxis. Because of the delay, the tick bite from weeks ago is rarely suspected.
2–6 Hours After Exposure
04
Long-Term Allergy
Alpha-gal syndrome can persist for years. Managing it means constant vigilance — reading labels, avoiding certain foods and medications, and limiting spontaneity.
Months to Years
🩺
Clinical Note: Alpha-gal syndrome is widely underdiagnosed — reactions are delayed and often mistaken for other conditions. The CDC estimates 450,000+ Americans may be affected. Prevention through tick avoidance is the only reliable protection available today. — Consistent with findings from the Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, and Yale Medicine.

Why Ticks Hate Lavora.

Our proprietary botanical blend disrupts the olfactory receptors ticks use to detect human and pet hosts. They can't find you. They can't bite you.

🌿
Linalool (Lavender)
Primary Active Botanical Compound

Lavender's linalool compound is scientifically documented to repel Amblyomma americanum (Lone Star Tick). It disrupts their sensory detection pathways and creates a barrier they actively avoid.

Proprietary Botanical Blend
Synergistic Multi-Compound Formula

Our patent-pending blend layers linalool with complementary terpenes — each adding a different layer of protection. Together, they create a sensory barrier ticks cannot penetrate.

How It Works in 3 Steps

1
Apply to Skin & Clothing
Spray on exposed skin, clothing, and pet fur. The light mist absorbs quickly with no greasy residue — smells like a luxury botanical fragrance, not a pesticide.
2
Botanical Barrier Activates
Linalool and our proprietary terpene blend create an invisible olfactory barrier. Ticks' heat-sensing and CO₂-tracking instincts are disrupted — they cannot detect you as a host.

6 Hours of Protection
One application provides up to 6 hours of coverage. Reapply after swimming or heavy sweating. Safe to use multiple times daily on kids and pets.

Pro Tip
Spray clothing and the cuffs of socks before heading into wooded or grassy areas — ticks climb upward from the ground.

Dr. [Name] — Founder & Formulator
"I've watched patients lose their ability to eat the foods they love — from a single bite they didn't even notice. Lavora exists because prevention is the only cure we have."

After years of clinical work seeing the rise of alpha-gal syndrome cases — especially in the Mid-Atlantic and Southern states — our founder set out to create something that actually worked, looked like it belonged in your medicine cabinet or handbag, and that kids would actually want to use.

Lavora was formulated with an obsessive focus on one question: what would actually stop people from getting bitten in the first place? The answer was a product beautiful enough to carry and potent enough to trust.

"I was diagnosed with AGS last year. This is now non-negotiable."
After my alpha-gal diagnosis I became obsessed with prevention. Lavora Bloom is genuinely the first repellent I've tried that smells like a real product, not a chemical. My kids actually ask to put it on before we go outside.

"Brought 4 of these to a camping trip. Everyone wanted one."
Slipped it in my pocket and forgot it was there — which is exactly the point. My buddy who hikes every weekend has been covered in DEET spray for years. He's switching to Cedar after this trip.

"My dog loves being outside. I love that she can be safe."
I was terrified of using any tick spray on my dog because most are toxic to animals. Lavora Coast is vet-approved and she doesn't even flinch when I spray her. We use it every single walk.

"My teenager actually uses it. That alone is a miracle."
I've tried everything. Normal bug spray? She refused. This? She keeps it in her backpack and reapplies it herself. The Grove scent smells incredible. She says it smells like a spa, not a bug product.

"As a physician, I recommend this to my patients."
I've started recommending Lavora specifically to patients in tick-endemic areas and to anyone who asks about AGS prevention. The botanical formulation is sound, and the compliance rate is much higher because patients actually enjoy using it.

Everything You Need to Know.

What is alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) and why should I care? +
Alpha-gal syndrome is an allergic reaction to red meat (beef, pork, lamb) and mammal-derived products caused by a bite from the Lone Star tick. The tick injects a sugar molecule called alpha-gal into your bloodstream, which triggers an immune response. After sensitization, eating red meat or mammal products causes reactions — from hives and GI distress to life-threatening anaphylaxis — that appear 2–6 hours after eating. There is no cure, and the allergy may be permanent. Your only reliable protection is preventing tick bites.
Is Lavora safe for young children? +
Yes. Lavora is safe for children ages 2 and up. Our formula contains no DEET, no synthetic pesticides, and no parabens. It has been dermatologist-reviewed and tested for sensitive skin. For children under 2, please consult your pediatrician before use. Always spray onto your hands first and apply to children — avoid spraying directly onto their face.
Is it safe to use on dogs and cats? +
Lavora has been reviewed by veterinary professionals and is safe for use on dogs and cats. Apply to fur, avoiding eyes and mouth. Do not apply to any area your pet may lick extensively. For very small pets or animals with known sensitivities, consult your vet before use. All four scents are safe for pet application.
How long does one application last? +
One application provides up to 6 hours of protection under normal conditions. We recommend reapplying after swimming, heavy sweating, or toweling off. For all-day outdoor activities, carry Lavora with you (that's why we made it pocket-sized) and reapply every 4–6 hours.
Do all four scents use the same protective formula? +
Yes — 100%. Every Lavora scent variant (Bloom, Grove, Cedar, and Coast) contains the exact same proprietary botanical blend and delivers the same level of protection. The scents differ only in their aromatic profile. Choose based on what you enjoy wearing — protection is identical across all four.
Where are Lone Star Ticks found? +
Lone Star Ticks are found across the eastern United States, with the highest concentrations in the South (Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri) and Mid-Atlantic states (Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, and surrounding areas). They are expanding northward and are now present in states as far north as New York, New Jersey, and Michigan. They are most active from April through September and prefer wooded areas, tall grass, and leaf litter — but can be found in backyards, parks, and trails.
How is Lavora tested? +
Every Lavora batch is independently tested by a certified third-party U.S. laboratory for potency, purity, and safety. Our proprietary botanical blend has been validated for tick repellency efficacy in controlled laboratory studies. We maintain full transparency about our testing protocols — certificates of analysis are available on request.
