Are there deer tick in monterey ca area and how long does any tick take to be submerged fully in body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They don't submerge: Ticks don't totally submerge into your body. They do stick their heads into your body. But you can pluck them out with simple tweezers. Regard the transmission of Lyme disease it takes greater then 36 hours for tick to be attached to you before it can spread lyme disease.
