Contrary to what the other poster says, I think the right response might actually be to continue eating meat, albeit perhaps in smaller amounts (or with an epi-pen/benadryl nearby) depending on how you feel. Assuming the bite is an initial 'innoculation' to prime the allergic response, you would want to now train your body that alpha-gal is an OK thing (because, see how much of it is in my diet?!). We still have so much to learn about the immune response, but one thing thats becoming apparent is that allergies are caused by not priming our immune system enough (think too sterile home environments, avoidance of peanuts during early childhood). Even with severe peanut allergies they've found that relief can be had by introducing minuscule amounts of peanut to sufferers over a prolonged time period, like allergy shots[0]. Waiting out your antibody readiness might literally take forever (e.g. think measles vaccine) [0] https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/peanut-allergy/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20376181 https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/peanut-allerg...
