I mean once it enters the bloodstream. like once you get infected with lyme how long does it take for it to leave the bloodstream and get into your muscles, tissues, brain etc

I read that it can happen within hours, but I'm guessing that even with that speed, the chance of getting it in the tissues is easier earlier because it's not as deeply embedded and there are less of the bugs.

i don't think anyone on here is going to have an answer for this, and i doubt the research has even been done.

- Within 12 hours of a bite from an infected tick or mosquito, borrelia can permeate the nervous tissue of the body and brain.
Sorry that I don't have the source of that at my fingertips but I am certain of having read that from a well know LLMD researcher. I have that saved somewhere in my file but I'm so unorganized and don't remember how I filed that.
It could even be quicker than that as borrelia spirochetes do not need the blood pathways (arteries, veins) to get around, they can literally spring right through tissue. -

- This is not the source I recall but will serve for the time being: ----------------
Lyme Borreliosis: Neuropsychiatric Aspects and Neuropathology
Excerpt from Page 7, column 3:
. . . CNS dysfunction may result when B. burgdoferi spirochetes increase the permeability of the blood�brain barrier and thereby cross and bind to astrocytes (the nearest neighbor to the brain capillaries) and oligodendrocytes.
Changes in the permeability of the blood�brain barrier have been observed as soon as 12 hours after infection in animal models. . . . -
