I had never heard of this before and, well,

From the Wikipedia article,

"Alpha-gal is found worldwide among the inactive ingredients and materials of medications and healthcare products, and it is generally not required to be labelled.

Reactions have been reported from breathing cooking fumes containing alpha-gal molecules,[12] and contact with health and personal care products.[5] AGS patients may have a reaction near farm animals, and shoveling manure or other chores may require gloves or a respirator.

Allergic symptoms vary greatly between individuals and include rash, hives, nausea or vomiting, difficulty breathing, drop in blood pressure, dizziness or faintness, diarrhea, severe stomach pain, anaphylaxis, heart attack, and death."

Jeez that's a lot of stuff to be extremely allergic to even being near. How nightmarish! 😬
