Message: [QUOTE="Uconnfanatic, post: 3250106, member: 4150"] In the 3 counties that were studied here in NH, they found that close to 70% of the ticks carried the Lyme spirochete & they often carry other pathogens as well. The numbers you cited are not even close to accurate. 50-70% is more like it anywhere in the Northeast. And the 24-48 hour attachment rule is a myth. You can contract Lyme in the first few hours of attachment if the spirochetes are in the tick's saliva. There is so much myth & misinformation surrounding Lyme and the CDC along with the Infectious Diseases Society of America contribute to that misinformation. Dr Ami Katz is a Lyme literate neurologist in Bridgeport who has helped many a sick Lyme patient. [/QUOTE]
