adkmom Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Anyone know how long does tick have to be attached to be able to transmit LD? I've read 24-48 hours but not sure if that's accurate. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelTampa Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I have read that the standard line is 24 hours but that people are skeptical and that it could be shorter. Not anything that will ever be studied, so I don't think we'll really ever know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNN Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 You may want to read the article I posted in "intro to lyme" thread. It references a 12% chance of infection in the first 24 hrs, then increases thereafter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
