It's tick season in Maine, and it's a bad one! Did you know that there are several tick-borne diseases in Maine besides Lyme? Bacteria for some of these diseases can be transmitted as soon as 15 minutes of attachment, much earlier that the 24-hours we think a tick must be attached to be of concern. Not all of these nasty diseases will show evidence as a rash, so lack of the "bullseye" does not mean you are not infected. Here is some good information from the Maine CDC on tick-borne illness in Maine. Don't wait and assume you are in the clear if a tick hasn't been attached for at least 24 hours, or if there isn't a rash. Effects of the illnesses can sneak up on you later, and they may not be subtle.

Frequently asked questions with peer-reviewed citations on tick attachment and tickborne diseases in Maine.
