I'm not looking to dive head first into conspiracy theory off the get go but the question that I've been wondering is where/who exactly this alpha gal only show up in the last 2 decades? I completely understand when there is an illness with an unknown cause that later gets identified but we don't have reports from the last couple centuries of folks having some bizarre reaction to read meat in the past do we? I am all for considering a logical explanation for how this happens but it doesn't seem to be talked about when I have occasionally searched on the topic. Has anyone else came across anything / wondered the same thing?
