Recent studies have found that a tick can transmit one of the tick borne diseases in as little as 45 minutes of time from attachment. It flies in the face of what we have thought the past 20 years that a tick had to be attached for hours to transmit disease. I wouldn’t doubt that it can be faster than forty five minutes.
