A very good question. If I understand correctly, each generation of ticks feeding on an infected host (often be infected with a mouse).
ReplyDeleteIn areas where adult ticks were 50% are infected, it is reasonable to believe that almost as many nymphs "Lyme +".
Coastal North Carolina is much more ticks to a high% of "disease, even though North Carolina at the bottom of endemic Lyme disease is notorious north-eastern United States.
You can check w / local health department for specific information in this area. (I'm sure some deer ticks harbor Lyme disease, however.)
Changes in infection rates depending on where you are. But be careful, nymphs, ticks can transmit diseases. Take your magnifying glass and the children are pampered with a deeper continuity can, with special attention to the hairline. Watch for any change in fitness in the coming weeks - the rashes, fever, headache, flu-ish feelings in general.
