Hi Ken, suggest you check out this link, recent experimental work on transfer of B. Burgorferi between ticks, host animals, and humans. Also, if you have the link to your source re. 'gestation' of the bug in ticks,I'd be very interested in checking it out for my own info. Around here the tick is the black-legged, or ixodes pacificus - you probably have ixodes scapularis in your neck of the woods.
