Even this syndrome (not an actual allergy but sensitization via tick vector) - is extremely rare. few cases per million.
10% of the mediterranean basin is allergic to some sort of plant food (and that prevalence is growing).
Primary allergy is to LTPs, lipid transfer proteins - which means those people be likely allergic to at least one of many components of this burger. In 70-80% cases such reactions are usually systemic and often severe.
In short: this burger can put 5-10% of the population in Spain, Italy, Greece on an ambulance.
