Bioethicists Want to Infect People With Disease That Makes You Allergic to Meat

Well, I guess Our Betters have to take more direct action.

As for me, if I end up with Alpha-Gal Syndrome, I’ll get it the old fashioned way. It’s been a bad year of insects here at Nogglestead. I’ve had two or three tick bites (and a couple of visitations) and a wasp sting. I’m going to housebreak a possum and name him Rikki-Tikki-Ticki, brah.
