[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a little over the top. Most tick bites do not result in Lyme or any other disease. It’s the exception, not the norm. Overuse of antibiotics is a real issue, and you can’t have this reaction and give antibiotics every time your child encounters a tick. [/quote] Not true. Most ticks have Lyme these days.[/quote] False. Studies in 2019 and 2020 have shown that 35-46% of deer ticks carry Lyme disease. Additionally, an tick needs to be attached for 24-48 hours to transmit infection. The chance of getting Lyme from a single encounter with deer tick isn’t rare, but it’s still small. [/quote]
