And Peter said turning by a scratch is one in a million. Kate got that odds, she'd transform even if she didn't die.

Which means Allison only needed to start her transformation. Rest would come itself. She'd survive even if she died before it took effect.

Jackson's body didn't reject the bite at all, him spewing black good was due to the mutation of the werewolf gene that made him a kanima. The fact that he ended up as a werewolf after resolving the kanima issues is proof of the bites' effect.

As for Gerard...the mountain ash simply poisoned him but there is no indication that it repelled the bite. Mountain ash has never been known to reverse or dispel the bites' effect. If it did then there'd be no reason for Alexander and Mrs. Argent to committ suicide....just snort some ash!
