Alpha-Gal Syndrome

I'm curious what the probability of contracting the allergy is from a single tick bite? Is it the sort of thing where the chances are low, but if you live in an area or engage in activities where you're getting a lot of bites, your risk is elevated? Or is it the sort of thing where any bite at all carries significant risk?

Mine was from one bite, it depends on the tick and maybe the person too. Some people get bit many times a year and don't get AGS or other tick borne illnesses. They're just lucky I guess
