So it’s confirmed: I am in the unenviable position of having contracted Alpha Gal Syndrome. It’s a tick-borne illness that makes those infected allergic to mammal meat/products. It’ll be an adjustment for sure. I don’t usually share health info, but this is such an unusual disease I feel like it makes sense to talk about it. Side note: primate meat is, apparently, fine #TheMostDangerousGame #AlphaGal #AlphaGalSyndrome #MeatAllergy #UnusualDiseases #meat #mammals

Given the fact that I’ve potentially contracted alpha gal syndrome (will know after blood work comes back tomorrow), I am trying out PLNT’s vegan burger. Not bad at all! #AlphaGal #AlphaGalSyndrome #MeatAllergy #tick
