Anyone know if lyme transmission is less or more likely for c-section vs. vaginal delivery?

It's not the delivery method that matters with Lyme, like with the herpes viruses. It gets passed to the baby long before the they reach that stage through the blood the mother and child share if it's going to be passed.

It gets passed through the umbilical cord from mother to fetus.

I haven't read method of delivery has an effect.
