Hmm, I 'get' the fear of that, it's not unreasonable, but not going into nature to avoid a small chance of lyme disease seems shortsighted. Like others said, it's curable, and the tick has to be on you for 24 hours, and it's not like a guaranteed thing[0]. Just check when you get home at the least. Bug sprays and whatnot work great too (check out Lemon Eucalyptus oil, it's as strong as DEET but without any side effects according to the CDC and it's pretty inexpensive on Amazon).
That said, I get it, I avoid skiing with the same fervor; too much risk of bodily harm for little reward, also things like tree wells and avalanches? No thanks. People look at me as weird as you probably feel we are looking at you. (it's also expensive, so there's that excuse)
This is absurd. Lyme disease is incredibly uncommon. I grew up going camping for at least several weeks every year, live in a city that has wild, forested areas less than 5 minutes away, go on multi-day hikes into the back-country several times a year, and know a variety of people who, for all purposes, live for the outdoors. No one I know has ever contracted Lyme disease.
You should never leave your room then; coming near people is more dangerous than going into nature. As long as it's not caught too late, lyme disease is curable.
Are you sure about the 24 hours thing ? From memory it all depends on the tick.
And if you remove it in a non optimal way you can still be contaminated.
On French websites you can still find the wrong advice to use ether to make the tick sleep. In fact it makes it sick and it can throw up in your bloodstream thus contaminating you.
Clearly, that math works for some people, and good on them. I just can't make the odds work.
