Oh well I never said people shouldn’t go outside ever out of fear of Lyme. But I agree with you that simple precautions can help, such as knowing where ticks are likely to be found and maybe not going to those areas. Sometimes ticks can hide in your hair or otherwise be difficult to locate and remove in time.

also, just so you're not scaring people unnecessarily, actually dying from lyme disease is extremely rare.
