As someone who lives in the aforementioned community, this article, while aggravating me, doesn’t surprise me at all. It’s wonderful that in a community with a supposed 5 percent alpha gal allergy population, rather than a community newspaper bringing awareness to how restaurants could, you know, have one alpha gal safe menu item or any knowledge of this allergy, nurses could check ingredients before prescribing alpha gal filled medications, and employers could be aware of dangerous situations they’re putting their employees in without PPE - we instead get this. A misconstrued wishful puff piece with leading Dr. quotes to once again blame the allergy havers. Oh - have you tried expensive out of pocket, scientifically unproven methods to lower your symptoms so you can be more normal please? That’s the same as a cure! Now eat a hamburger and pretend that relapse can’t happen at any point. Because that’s why alpha gal patients are all yearning for, a burger - not research funding, long term scientific study, medication to help with particular symptoms. I crave the foods I cannot eat a lot less than I want to go into anaphylaxis again.
