Always fight back calmly with confidence by providing education.
"In a 1995 study performed on ticks infected with Borrelia, researchers found that transmission of the bacteria was determined by how much Borrelia was in the salivary gland of the infected tick, not how long it had fed. "
"Currently, the CDC’s website states: “In most cases, the tick must be attached for 36 to 48 hours or more before the Lyme disease bacterium can be transmitted.” Unfortunately, this sends the false message that there is NO risk if any tick is removed within 36 to 48 hours of attachment. This simply IS NOT TRUE! In fact, there are currently no studies showing the minimum attachment time for transmission of Lyme to humans."
