Lyme disease is the lesser problem. Where I live, a large amount of ticks carry a virus that causes encephalitis. Luckily I'm vaccinated against it, but many people aren't.

Just take a shower afterwards

Idk if that's serious, but that doesn't help with ticks

[–] Lux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes it does? It doesn't directly remove them, but it does allow you to see them and remove them yourself

[–] BautAufWasEuchAufbaut@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

OK but like the shower doesn't really contribute then

Oh, would you rather drop the ticks you remove on the floor?
