20% of the ticks of the species that carries Lyme disease bacteria carry the bacteria.
These species makes up less than 10% of the ticks in Alberta and apparently don't reproduce in Alberta. No cases of Lyme disease are believed to have been acquired within Alberta. |
I dunno. U of A says 10-20% of ticks...

Ten to 20 per cent of the ticks now being tested in Alberta are carrying Lyme disease, so anyone bitten has a one in five to one in 10 chance of being exposed, she noted.

I know a guy who just got diagnosed too. It's such a hard diagnosis. He has no idea where he got the tick bit.
