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??
