Haven't you heard about the tick-induced steak allergy? Frightening...

yeah, thats the point - keep you frightened.

not everyone who gets bitten by that particular tick gets alpha gal.
but even if you do, less than 9% of people that test positive for it actually get the syndrome.
the syndrome is where you do react to eating mammalian meat. but careful eating can turn it around in 6-18months.

as a carnivore I should be terrified. what would I eat? but I'm not remotely bothered by it.
its an overreaction by your immune system like any allergy. so eating a low inflammatory diet means my immune system will behave normally.
