@ mygutleaks you do know there is no specific time for a tick to be attached to pass infection whether it be babesia, lyme, a bartonella like organism, microfilarial worms, or other parasites.
These can enter your bloodstream as soon as the tick attaches...Whoever stated it takes this many hours is an idiot. Doesnt mean you have anything though, just sayin' :-D
I have only been bitten by 1 tick in my life and he was on me for about 90 minutes, and out of the only tick that has ever got me I got lyme and babesia :-/ confirmed through Igenex, I had 6 positive specific borrelia bands.
