Hi Sash;
You may find the above article interesting. I am particularly
interested by the comment that Borellia Burgdorferi is transmitted from
infected ticks to humans within 8 to 12 hours; more in line with my
knowledge of local acquaintances' experiences when infected.
I'm uncertain as to whether the tick regurgitates when squeezed, whether
the spirochete resides in the saliva and/or anaesthetic the tick uses in
penetrating its host or merely in the tick's stomach, and subsequently
the anaesthetic the tick uses upon DEtaching from its host; a
little-examined yet apparent sequel to the normal feeding cycle that
seems to involve an antihistamine type (non)reaction quite different
from what you get when the tick was forcibly removed and/or often when
it vectored a disease.
There's lots yet to be learned, for sure! Have you read Lab 257 by
Christopher Carroll??
Take care,
Malcolm

Your statement below is generally not true. Even if one gets the tick off
quickly, as you suggest, the contents of the tick's stomach may have been
regurgitated into the bite and the blood and lymph will carry it to all
parts of the body, quickly, and then start reproducing or hiding until it is
safe to start reproducing. This includes the brain and is known as
neurolyme. We have to remember that the general population, unlike you, do
not have CS running through their body, nor do most even know what CS is.
The reason I say your statement is generally not true is that, many people
do not know how to correctly remove a tick without squeezing it. And if the
tick should happen to be infected, then no matter how quickly you got the
tick off of the body, the contents of the tick's stomach will have been
regurgitated into the bite. Some people are very, very lucky and have immune
systems that are strong and healthy, but read below, and you will see that
not even that is a guarantee that a future attack from that specific bite
will not ever surface.
What will matter and make all the difference to a life is the means by which
one eliminates or kills off the spirochetes and co-infections delivered into
the system through the bite. One may have an excellent immune system which
will help eliminate it or not. But why take the chance. This is a life
threatening disease which can lay dormant in the body for years for when the
immune system is not up to par. These spirochetes are extremely intelligent
and know when to begin their attack. They are pleomorphic organisms and
also some have been designed by humans for biowarfare. The immune system
cannot recognize those designed for biowarfare and so doesn't know that it
has been attacked and do not rev up to fight what they don't recognize.
ABX is indicated for any tick bite, starting with Doxycycline, at around 400
to 600mg/day, until the person knows for absolute certain that they have not
been infected or for taking for a minimum of 4-6 weeks, period. End of
story. A bulleseye rash is only one indication. You don't necessarily have
to have a bullseye rash to be infected. Many Lyme victims have never had a
bullseye rash and they have Lyme Disease.

If you get the tick off pretty quick, there is little chance of any
problems. I get tick bit about every 2 weeks and find one looking for a spot
every few days. Do the tick search daily if not twice a day.
I'd never be OFF ABX if I assumed the worst every time.
