Interesting because I just heard that they’re now saying it takes closer to 36 hours.
Also, the nymphs are only infected 25% of the time where adults are 50%, but the nymphs transmit more Lyme because they are far harder to see so aren’t removed as often.
yeah the times keep goign back and forth- i think the shorter time is because the process of the bacteria movign to the mouth parts, which is what takes so long on a tick, has already begun if they have just fed on something else-
