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

Ok... So involuntary vegetarian...

Idk, sound like not the worst thing.

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.

If it would only be meat, sure. Unpleasant but manageable. But the animal products can be a problem. They not only put you very close to the most hard-core of vegans diet plan, they additionally mess with medical treatment available to you.
