• BBC Science report: European tick established in UK  (22. March 2011) Especially the last four sentences of that report are very relevant. It explains why it is important to keep a TickCard in the wallet! From personal experience, we actually found transmission can start already shortly after the bite – not 24 hours: Borreliosis (Lyme disease) bacteria are in the digestive tract of the tick: it can regurgitate these microbes at any time or if stressed or squeezed. But it will usually do so after 8-24 hours in any case as part of the normal feeding process. Bon appetit!
