I just Googled it and came up with several websites...the details are a
bit hard to find.

If a tick is attached to your skin for less than 24 hours, your chance of
getting Lyme disease is extremely small.
http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/lyme/prevention/ld_prevention_avoid.htm
A tick needs a blood meal from a host in order to molt
(progress to the next stage of its life cycle), and to reproduce
(lay eggs). This feeding process continues for several days to
a week until the tick is fully engorged with blood. It then
releases its hold on the host, drops off, and subsequently molts
or lays eggs.
If the tick is infected with pathogenic organisms (for
example, Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme disease), it
can transmit the infection to the host during the feeding
process.
******As the tick feeds, the pathogens multiply, migrate to
the tick's salivary glands, and are carried into the wound site
along with the saliva.
Successful transmission of pathogens requires the tick to be
attached for at least several hours.*****
Therefore, the sooner
infective ticks are removed, the less likely they will be able to
transmit infection. It is impossible to tell if a tick is infected
just by looking at it. Only analysis in a laboratory can
determine infection status.

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.
Take care,
Malcolm
