Last year, out of 1,254 tests for the allergy, 523 came back positive, according to laboratory data from Martha’s Vineyard Hospital. This was a stunningly fast rise from 2020, when only two out of nine tests were positive.
God forbid they use understandable units, such 22% were allergic in 2020, later in 2024 it was 42%.Presumably they can’t easily report by patient (I assume some patients get multiple tests over time) or there are instances where a patient gets a couple tests with mixed results
That they only did 9 tests in 2020 is notable by itself
You might be right. I read it as 2/9ths, which honestly I’ve seen the NYTimes do this. Really though, either of us may be correct as it isn’t clear.
Edit: I read another source and you are correct.
nytimes write clearly challenge: impossible
Alpha gal syndrome is when you’re forced to be vegan and eat healthy and alpha guy syndrome is when you choose to eat only unpreserved meat until you die in your mid-30sliver king moment
Unfortunately someone mentioned in another thread that people with alpha-gal syndrome can still eat chicken

Todd (From Scott pilgrim) is vindicated, chicken IS vegan
history has vindicated him
We stan a retroactively unproblematic fave
the guy blew up the moon
No, he punched a new crater in the moon. Which I think you’ll find is cool.
Vegan biological terrorists are working on this problem as we speak!
They’d have to be vegetarians surely
Vegan super villains are doing beef allergies today, chicken in 2026, eggs in 2029, and honey in 2033. Trust the plan.
Uncritical support to ticks getting rich people allergic to beef.
