From what I read, it has to be embedded for 48 hours to give you lyme disease. And of course, it's not just any tick bite that would do that. It's specifically a tic that carries lyme disease, and there are certain states that have a high population of them. I don't ever hear of it here in Texas. My son's friend's mom lived north when she got her lyme disease tick bite.
