"Had it" is a bit misleading too, once it is detectable in blood, about a month, it is have, not had, intense antibiotics are required to shift it once in.... read about Ray Mears battle to get rid of the infection after many years The 24 hours rule is/was the standard NHS guidance, but obviously is only a guide. (Click 'how you get Lyme', last paragraph of the section). https://www.nhsinform.scot/illnesses-and-conditions/infections-and-poisoning/lyme-disease#transmission The study found 25% of workers being Seropositive... Apparently. The article doesn't link to the original study but I've seen the same figures and 1989 quoted in (significantly more detailed pieces) elsewhere. I'll try and find the original source material at some point. https://lymeknowledge.wordpress.com/2014/03/06/25-of-forestry-workers-in-the-new-forest-were-seropositive/ Had it and have it are debatable... Either way, it's a nasty one so everyone should be taking as many measures as possible!
