That's one of the mechanisms you can develop anaphylactic shock. You get infected by a foreign substance and body learns to treat it as dangerous. The next time you get it the body's response goes into overload. That's EXACTLY how you get meat allergy from ticks(it inserts a protein found in most mammals but not in humans. Next time you get it, even by eating, there's a certain risk for sever allergic reaction...).An anaphylactic shock is an allergic reaction. It's not what you'd normally expect. Although getting stung enough time can still be dangerous.
Is that instant or does it take a day or two?That's one of the mechanisms you can develop anaphylactic shock. You get infected by a foreign substance and body learns to treat it as dangerous.

The, Alpha-gal syndrome, as it's called, is one where the onset of anaphylactic shock is normally delayed by hours(unlike other cases of anaphylactic shock where exposure usually results in immediate symptoms, like in the case of bees). More info here;Is that instant or does it take a day or two?
So, what I got from that is that it's still pretty rare.The, Alpha-gal syndrome, as it's called, is one where the onset of anaphylactic shock is normally delayed by hours(unlike other cases of anaphylactic shock where exposure usually results in immediate symptoms, like in the case of bees).
