The allergy, called alpha-gal syndrome, came to light a little over a decade ago.

      I mean, it’s probably not a particularly fun experience to only find out that you have this allergy after you almost fucking die eight hours after getting a vaccine with trace amounts of alpha-gal in it, in severe cases.

      As the disease rises in prominence, I reckon we’ll start to see at-home tests. I certainly hope that happens.

      Even as a vegan, I’ll say, robbing folks of autonomy over food is truly awful. Food holds deep cultural and psychological meanings.

      I’d take a few folks eating meat less regularly (willingly, and seeing value in it) over any number of folks forced into vegetarianism.
