Question: How long after a tick bites you does it start transmitting possible diseases like lyme disease!?
I got a bite this weekend on my foot but it was only there for 3 hours or so, would it have already transmitted the lyme bacteria if it was infected!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Transmission has been demonstrated in less than six hours!. It bodes well for you that yours was only three!. However, that's no guarantee that you are free and clear!. In addition to possible Lyme, you might also have gotten one or more of what are called "co-infections"--other nasty stuff the tick can transmit at the same time as Lyme!.
Watch yourself closely over the coming days!. Any sign of a rash!? Fever!? Headache!? Dizziness!? Flu-like symptoms!? All are cause for concern!.
