When a tick attaches to a human, the bacteria is passed. The tick must be attached to the human for about six hours for this passage to occur.
When an animal or person is bitten by a tick that carries bacteria, the bacteria are passed to that person or animal during the tick's feeding process

There is no such thing as a "Lyme Tick". Are you asking what tick carries Lyme Disease? Lyme is a bacteria that a tick might be carrying. It causes Lyme Disease when it the tick bites you. It was previously thought that only Deer Ticks carry Lyme Bacteria. More and more they are finding that any tick may carry it.
When an animal bites, it can then transmit pathogens into the wound
A tick-borne fever, such as lyme disease, is caused by a spirochete bacteria. This is a type of bacteria which is spiral in shape.
Colorado Tick Fever (CTF) is a viral infection while Rocky Mountain Tick Fever is a bacterial infection.
The bacterial culprit in RMSF is called Rickettsia rickettsii. It causes no illness in the tick carrying it, and can be passed on to the tick's offspring.
Ticks don't 'cause' Lyme disease. Lyme disease is caused by a group of spirochete bacteria (namely: Borrelia burgdorferisensu lato). Ticks are only the vectors(=carriers) of these pathogens. The main vectors are deer ticks (Ixodes scapularis) in North America, and sheep ticks (Ixodes ricinus) in Europe.
The head of the tick will not spread disease, as the tick's stomach, which contains the bacteria, is no longer attached. There is no pressing need to remove the tick head, and your body will expel it like a splinter. Contact your health care provider to find out what care, if any, is indicated in your area after removing a tick.
Storage before so harmfull bacteria does not get on the instruments and thus transmit to you. After (disposal) so yours or others diseases or harmfull bacteria does not transmit to surfaces or others.
Yes due to the fact that they suck on someones blood and then when they make contact on another person, they transfuse it.
The pathogen is Rickettsia rickettsii. Vectors for this bacteria include the American dog tick and the Rocky Mountain wood tick.
