Assuming this is alpha-gal syndrome, where you can’t eat anything with 4 legs basically (cow, sheep, pig). Even cross contamination can sometimes cause a bad reaction.

Sounds like Alpha-Gal Syndrome, which is a legitimate thing
Sounds like they got that tick bite disease that make you allergic to all red meats and things that come from those animals, like cheese. Basically everything besides poultry and fish. My mother had the same thing happen to her and had to completely change her diet and carry an epi pen around. It’s kind of a nightmare.

This is why you must have at least one reptilian line cook on duty at all times.

Have a friend with it, can’t even touch leather without getting hives. The smells in a steakhouse would kill her.
Alpha-gal one of my coworkers husbands has it. Comes from a tick bite.

“Mammal Allergy” sounds like “vegan” with too many words.

We all know a lot of allergies are BS. Other people’s food choices are none of our business.
Just follow the ticket.

Alpha gal is actually crazy I had a coworker whose mom had it. She couldn’t even walk into our croissant shop without having a reaction because of the butter in the air!

17 other people have commented the same thing so instead of upvoting them or commenting on theirs I’ll just say the same thing too
Alpha-gal from a tick bite probably

Did no one else get thrown off by the name? Cococinia, my eyes swore it saw cocaine but you know what they say, eyes see what the heart wants. . . Lol

Yes, it is a real thing.

It’s real but rare. In my opinion, you’d have to be a fucking idiot to eat out with this allergy.

Yes, seen it a few times. Unfortunately, I think it’s becoming more common. Even my neighbor has even gotten it since I’ve known him. Check for ticks everyone!

Alpha-gal syndrome is real. It happens after getting bit by a tick and from what I hear it really fucking sucks.
