Got bit by a tick in April? Don’t panic—your doc’s right: one hour is way too short for Lyme to spread. Ticks need 36–48 hours to transmit the bacteria, so you’re likely in the clear. But Lyme can still mess with your skin, joints, nerves, and heart—sometimes with a bullseye rash, sometimes not. Early antibiotics fix it. Ticks, even tiny nymphs, can carry it, so stay vigilant: wear long sleeves, tuck pants, use DEET, and check your whole body after time outdoors. You’re safe for now—just keep an eye out for symptoms.
