HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET LYME DISEASE?

how-long-does-it-take-to-get-lyme-disease

The risk that a deer tick may transmit Lyme disease rises the longer the tick is attached, according to a review by Eisen from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published in the January 2018 journal Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases. [1]

By Dr. Daniel Cameron

A study by Eisen and colleagues addressed a frequently asked question: “How long does it take to get Lyme disease?” According to their findings,  the probability of an individual becoming infected with Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb), the pathogen which causes Lyme disease, increases the longer the tick is attached. [1]

Researchers found the risk increases:

  • Approximately 10% after a tick has been attached for 48 hours;
  • 50% after 63 – 67 hours;
  • 70% by 72 hours;
  • 90% for a complete feed.

The time it takes to become infected with the Lyme disease bacteria has “generated lively debate in the United States,” writes Eisen.

Several mouse studies indicate that a single tick bite from a nymph tick cannot transmit Lyme disease in less than 24 hours. But others disagree.

“The possibility that transmission of Lyme disease spirochetes could occur within 24 hours of nymphal attachment under unusual circumstances should not be discounted,” writes Eisen.

While the tick is attached, the Bb spirochete have time to multiply in the gut, escape into the hemocoel and invade and multiply in the salivary glands before transmitting the Lyme bacteria.

In a review article, Cook writes, “It is frequently stated that the risk of infection is very low if the tick is removed within 24–48 hours, with some claims that there is no risk if an attached tick is removed within 24 hours or 48 hours.” [2]

In animal models, transmission can occur in less than 16 hours, and “the minimum attachment time for transmission of infection has never been established.”

Spirochetes in tick salivary glands 

Additionally, studies have found the presence of spirochetes in the tick salivary glands prior to the tick feeding, which could result in a rapid transmission of Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria.

Studies suggest, “in cases where the spirochetes are present in the tick salivary glands, they can be injected into the host during the preparatory transfers of antihistamines and anticoagulants prior to the commencement of feeding, ie, immediately after attachment of the tick to the host,” Cook writes.

There is also evidence that the transmission times and virulence varies depending upon the tick and Borrelia species, he adds.

Are you the tick’s 2nd meal?

A tick that is partially fed may be able to transmit diseases faster, Eisen explains.

“Partially fed ticks able to re-attach could result from detachment from dead animals or possibly by host grooming.”

Researchers have shown that infected I. scapularis nymph ticks which had been previously attached to a host for 24 – 48 hours, then removed and placed onto a new host, can effectively transmit B. burgdorferi spirochete within 24 hours of their re-attachment, Eisen writes.

Ticks harbor multiple diseases 

Blacklegged ticks may be harbor multiple pathogens, leading to Lyme disease and/or other tick-borne infections.

In fact, studies have found that ticks can harbor up to a dozen different types of bacteria. And, some of these pathogens can be transmitted in less than 24 hours.

Several studies have shown that the Powassan virus can be transmitted within 15 minutes of tick attachment, while Anaplasmosis and Borrelia miyamotoi can be transmitted within the first 24 hours of attachment, explains Eisen.

Meanwhile, partially fed Amblyomma aureolatum ticks have been shown to transmit Rickettsia rickettsii in as little as 10 minutes after attachment.

Underestimating tick attachment time

There is, however, pitfalls in relying on tick attachment time to determine your risk of infection.

“Bites by I. scapularis nymphs often go entirely undetected and tick-bite victims typically underestimate how long a nymph was attached before it was detected and removed,” writes Eisen.

One study found that people “consistently underestimate the actual time the tick was attached prior to being discovered.”

Lastly, an individual would not know if they had been bitten by a partially fed tick, which would increase their chances of becoming infected and infected faster.

Interview with Lyme Literate Pathologist Dr. Alan MacDonald

http://  Approx. 2 Hours

Interview with Dr. Alan MacDonald

Tick Boot Camp
June 1, 2021
  • Dr. Alan MacDonald is an Ivy League educated medical doctor and the first Lyme Literate Pathologist.
  • Dr. MacDonald practiced as a “Doctor’s Doctor” on Long Island, New York at the onset of the Lyme disease pandemic.
  • He pioneered the use of pathological techniques to prove that untreated Lyme disease can result in a patient’s death.
  • He also perfected direct diagnostic testing to prove seronegative chronic active Lyme disease.
  • Additionally, Dr. MacDonald proved Lyme disease caused fetal deaths, stillbirths, and sudden infant deaths.
  • Lastly, he was the first to link Alzheimer’s disease to Lyme infections.

If you would like to learn more about how America’s first Lyme Literate Pathologist pioneered many of the mainstream diagnostic and treatment techniques used by medical practitioners and Lyme researchers, then tune in now!

    • patients can test negative but still be infected (seronegative Lyme).
    • They also cultured EM biopsies for antibiotic sensitivity studies to determine the most effective antibiotics.
    • They also did drug level studies and found CDC/IDSA recommendations don’t work for many as they don’t give detectable blood levels of antibiotics (which means the antibiotics aren’t effective).  Some people need higher doses and treatment is not a “one size fits all.”  This is important because the CDC/IDSA guidelines are setting patients up for severe chronic Lyme as these surviving pathogens mutate into something that will become treatment resistant.

Dr. Judy Mikovits warns spike protein “vaccine” injections may kill 50 million Americans

Health Ranger Report
6/4/21
____________________
 
**Comment**
 
There are many reasons to watch this interview, but Lyme/MSIDS patients take note: around 11:00 she discusses vaccines and tick-borne illness.  Summary below:
 
  1. People getting the COVID injections are being injected with the synthetic virus, the most dangerous spike protein consisting of HIV, XMRV, and SARS.
  2. Mainstream media has had to go back and reedit news articles they wrote where they used words like “debunked,” “conspiracy theory,” etc. when writing about the origins of COVID.  
  3. Mikovitz states lab originated viruses go all the way back to the 80’s under Fauci‘s watch.
  4. The COVID injections will kill those with HIV and the 6% of Americans who have XRMV (mouse virus from contaminating vaccines).
  5. She admonishes to NEVER get another shot so these lab contrived ‘pandemics’ end.
  6. She claims the push to get these injections is to coverup vaccine crimes.  She states victims are cremated so you can’t learn that what caused death was the vaccine-strain. She mentions the movies “Dallas Buyer’s Club,” and “The Band Played On.”
  7. In 2009, when Mikovitz’s paper came out in Science magazine, the government realized viruses were coming out of our laboratories so they rewrote history and called it a “biosafety level 2, unintended spread of a Biosafety Safety Level 2 Contaminant.”  She states this statement is fraudulent because contagious cancer is not a Biosafety Safety Level 2.  (Caused and spread by vaccines)
  8. Viruses know your immune system, & take advantage of when you are compromised.
  9. Mikovitz states we’ve been lied to for 40 years and that HIV was spread through a hepatitis B vaccination program with a contaminated vaccine.  
  10. She also states you can’t inject people with aborted fetal tissue and animal tissue and not adopt another human’s and animal’s virome.
  11. At 11:00 she discusses the explosion of “tick-borne illnesses” and states many have become infected through contaminated vaccines. She states animal cell lines have all been infected by ticks. (Mycoplasma, mold, borrelia, etc.)
  12. She states vaccine safety & efficacy studies have never been done and it’s HHS’s responsibility. 
  13. She reminds of the MMR debacle that if black boys get the shot before they are 3 years old they are 2-4 times more likely to develop autism, cancer, or even die.
  14. Mikovitz states there is always hope with natural therapies and that there are solutions right now.
  15. At 17:00 Adams asks Mikovitz for solutions for the spike protein.  She states that anti-retroviral natural products are the answer to stopping the rogue protein gene expression.  She states ozone therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, quercitin are also good for stopping the disease, and the importance of avoiding GMO’s, and other vaccines as they activate the immune system.
  16. She states that peer-review science has been corrupted by Fauci and that since 1984 there hasn’t been any true, independent research (epidemiologist Kurt Wittowski states the same thing).  Scientific journals are now commercials for Big Pharma.
  17. She states that the con marched through Zika, bird flu, ebola, and swine flu, and has taken us to COVID now.
  18. Mikovitz states that there’s no data supporting the claim that her science on XMRX has been debunked.
  19. She states we need to take the system back and that there are criminals at the top of each governmental organization in the CDC, FDA, and EPA.  She states the entire system needs to be shut down by putting accountability back into Big Pharma, stopping university grants, and medical journals. 
  20. At 27:30 Adams asks her how many Americans she estimates will die due to these injections if the con continues and she states at least 50 million Americans over the next few years.  That’s 15% of the population.
  21. These deaths are going to look like heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, and accelerated cancers.
  22. Mikovitz states blood ozone therapy will help the vaccine injured.
  23. At 33:00 she states the spike protein IS the disease agent and that people shouldn’t be injecting this synthetic lipid virus it into their bodies.
  24. Adams states that they need the booster shots so they can continue circulating the spike protein in the population.
  25. Mikovitz states “NO SHOTS!” and that they are deadly.
  26. Mikovitz called for a moratorium on all vaccines.

  28. To get Mikovitz’s new book, Ending Plague: A Scholar’s Obligation in an Age of Corruption Health, you have to pre-order on Amazon as it will be widely censored.

Dr. Judy Mikovitz & Dr. David Martin

Q & A  from the “Free & Brave” conference in May.

Dr. Mikovits addresses the first question regarding “Suramin.”

Then Dr. Martin addresses the history of the development of the SARS bioweapon, which was originally funded for AIDS/HIV research in 1999, and he dropped this bombshell on the audience:

Anthony Fauci has spent, listen to this number, 191 BILLION dollars, not 3.7 million, not 30 million, 191 BILLION dollars of audited funds for the bioweaponization of viruses against humanity.

And it is YOUR money that has been spent.

Dr. Martin also explains how the COVID-19 “vaccine” does not meet the legal definition of a “vaccine,” but it meets the legal definition of a “bioweapon.”

A question was asked about who funds Dr. David Martin’s research worth hearing at 27:00.
