[align=left]The larval and nymphal stages of the tick are no bigger than a pinhead (less than 2 mm). Adult ticks are only slightly larger. Research in the eastern United States has indicated that, generally, ticks transmit Lyme disease to humans during the nymphal stage, probably because nymphs are rarely noticed on a person’s body due to their small size. Thus, the nymphs typically have ample time to feed and transmit the infection (ticks need at least 24 to 36 hours to transmit the infection).[/align]
I just wanted to post this to let you all know that as long as you get them off within the first day you should be safe. Like I said it takes a while for them to transmit the enzyme to the host.........
I still hate them![:@]
