CDC Issues a Lyme Disease Update
Posted on February 15, 2013 at 12:15 pm
It has been known that a deer tick needs 10 minutes to two hours to latch onto the host's skin, cut through it, and insert its feeding tube.
However considerably more time is required for the disease-causing bacteria to travel from the tick to the host.
According to the new CDC update, in the majority of cases a deer tick must be attached for 36 to 48 hours or more before Lyme Disease bacterium can be transmitted.
Other and earlier reports had indicated that this time is about 24 hours. . . . . --------------------
Wrong on several counts:
In less than 8-12 hours after a bite, lyme can hit the brain & infect the nervous system.
And, "tick needs 10 minutes to two hours to latch onto the host's skin" - wrong !
well, that is just ridiculous. I've seen a tick land, attach and bite in a less than 10 seconds.
Two hours! What in the world are they smoking over at the CDC? -

- I tried to post a reply but it would not let me. It said my email was already being used. Not possible. Although it is my "alias" email address, no one else has it.
If others can reply, please do so. And maybe post ILADS.org -
