How would you two gentlemen rate an allergy to Soybeans and derived
products, in terms of Common verses Uncommon?

In what might be considered a fit of madness (I personally happen to be
allergic to soy products) I speculated on such a possibility for an elven
character concept I developed recently.

Well, Senor Hohenzollern, I would imagine that the allergy is
fairly uncommon.

Pretty bad to have it, since there's Soycafe, soyburgers, etc. etc.

Common, but then, you choose what you eat, normally.
Guess you'll just have to take that Lux lifestyle, eh?
Sigh, the sacrifices we make ...
