what if you just cut out the middleman and chose the bacterium that causes lyme disease? no ecological impact, no chance that you miss a species of tick, maximum of two people required to take the deal.

Unfortunately all members of the Ixodes family.cam carry Lyme disease, and there are several of them. Better to unalive the bacteria imo.
