The condition, known as alpha-gal syndrome

Knee-jerk reaction: oh come on, a condition where you can’t eat red meat is called alpha gal syndrome. Fucking toxic masculinity at its finest.

After two minutes of research, from a different site:

Alpha-gal is a molecule (galactose-α-1,3-galactose) that is naturally produced in the bodies of most mammals but not in people. It is also found in the saliva (spit) of some ticks.

Oh. Well. I retract my previous indignation, but maintain that it is a very funny coincidence.
