>>1492346Most areas within that zone have very few cases per year, such as mine.
>>1492384>Bitten by literally hundreds of ticks across 10 years and have gotten literally nothing. Never had a rash, never been tired like that, no joint pain or fevers, absolutely fuck all.Mhm, yeah. I have a feeling you guys are just paranoid little bitches about it, depending on where you live. I can count 8 bites on me right now and that's from walking for a mile in the woods. If you life in a redzone where there are 50k cases per year then fair enough. If you don't, then stop caring so much about it and panicking like satan himself is about to snip your balls off each time you get bitten by a tick. It's a tick bite, fucking hell.
>>1492367>If you live anywhere Ixodes scapularis exists, then Lyme disease is a riskA risk that depends on how badly the disease has spread within your area. Within my area there are very few cases per year despite it being one of the most forested and wild states in the union with an extremely high rural population, so evidently, you're a fag.
Maybe you're just paranoid as fuck and looking for an excuse to not go outside?
>>1492365>All far below 10k cases per yearListen, I'm not saying that I'm not being a dumbass by not using repellent and not tucking my pants into my socks as I should, I'm saying that you lot are far too afraid of something that in the vast majority of cases will not happen to you, especially if you actually do do the most basic shit like tucking your pants into your socks. Tick borne diseases are an overblown problem. Utterly meme tier.
