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

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

OK but like the shower doesn't really contribute then

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