HARD SCIENCE ON LYME: Ticks can transmit infection the first day About 25 to 30 percent of nymph-stage deer ticks in the Northeast are naturally infected with the Lyme disease bacterium. Nearly all of these infected ticks will cause Lyme disease if they are not removed [emphasis added]. Ticks in this stage are about the size of a poppy seed, making them very difficult to find.

Deer Ticks Suck: Nymph Tick Bites Peak in Early Summer A deer tick nymph is the size of a poppy seed. Unlike the larva, which are universally Lyme disease-free (they don’t hatch pre-infected), nymphs can become Lyme vectors if the larva attaches to a Lyme disease-bearing host (mice are a common culprit).

- The disease is acquired by a tick bite. The deer ticks that transmit the Lyme disease become infected when the. tick feeds on infected field mice. When that tick feeds again, the infection can be transmitted to the tick's new. host. The tick must actually be attached to a person's skin, usually for several hours, before it can transmit the. disease. The bite of the tick is usually painless.

- Ticks have become quite abundant in many parts of Vermont. Thirteen different tick species have been identified in Vermont, but only four are known to carry pathogens such as bacteria, viruses and parasites that cause disease in humans.he deer tick (Ixodes scapularis) is also known as the black-legged tick. These ticks may transmit the organisms that cause anaplasmosis, babesiosis, Powassan virus and Lyme disease. Ticks acquire these organisms by feeding on infected small animals, and then spread disease to other mammals while taking a blood meal.

- I was bitten by a tick ten days ago and after removal sent the tick in for testing to the public health lab in the county where I encountered the tick. Today the lab informed me that the tick is the type that can carry Lyme disease. However they did not find Lyme disease bacteria in the body of the tick.

Transmission Ticks can attach to any part of the human body but are often found in hard-to-see areas such as the groin, armpits, and scalp. In most cases, the tick must be attached for 36 to 48 hours or more before the Lyme disease bacterium can be transmitted. Ticks not known to transmit Lyme disease include Lone star ticks (Amblyomma americanum), the American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis), the Rocky Mountain wood tick (Dermacentor andersoni), and the brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus).

Deer Flies and Lyme's Disease I learned that getting Lyme's from a deer fly is much more rare than getting it from a tick, but something I saw on the Internet said that CT, RI, NY, NJ, PA, MD, WI, and MN account for 92% of cases of Lyme's. just wanted to warn people about deer flies being a vector for Lyme's Disease. Last year, a deer fly landed just below my ankle. I smacked it with my hand and was pretty happy that I'd gotten it before it bit me.

If the tick later feeds on a human, that human can become infected.  After feeding, the blacklegged tick drops off and prepares for the next life stage.
