Deer carry ticks they dont carry Lyme bacteria, they only transport the infected tick.

(The younger larval ticks are very rarely infected.[56]) Although deer are the preferred hosts of adult deer ticks, and tick populations are much lower in the absence of deer, ticks generally do not acquire Borrelia from deer, instead they obtain them from infected small mammals such as the white-footed mouse, and occasionally birds.[57] Areas where Lyme is common are expanding.[58]

Rodents, mice, white footed to be exact and rarely birds carry the bacteria, ticks suck on the mice and then become the transporter of the bacterium.

Kill all the rodents in your orb and you will vastly reduce the chances of contracting Lyme.

Also kill any Barberry you have in your wooded areas because ticks like to hide out in the base of those INVASIVE species along with the mice.(thanks again Asia)

I sold 30 acres in New England because of these creepy little bastards.
Had Lyme 2x’s and got sick of the fact I could no longer go out into my fields and woods because of them.

PS:
Some speculation and reasonable is Lyme came from Plum Island of the coast of Ct at a bio lab run by the US Gmnt
