The shifting ecosystems point is really important, I live far enough north that I had never seen a tick in nature before last year and then I got bitten by two in one season

I had the same expirience, PCP said it wasn’t lyme, they sent me to a neurologist who said it wasn’t, then I footed the bill for an infectious disease specialist who was like “WTF you should have started antibiotics two weeks ago”
My prevention is simply never leaving the house

I’ve been dealing with tick-borne chronic illness for the past 20 years, shit sucks.
Killed Leslie Feinberg too, Lyme disease is wild.
Also, if you’re going through the woods or through high grass, tuck your pant legs into your socks, and your shirt into your pants. Ticks do not climb downward and this trick will funnel them to your neck, where you will more easily feel them.
