if I did that it would take thousands of them to control the ticks here

Actually last winter might have been a good winter to kill bugs because we had periods when it got really warm and then suddenly got real cold. I think that might have worked to kill them.
Aside from that, I think the government might be looking for a natural pathogen like a fungus or something that would sterilize the bugs and prevent them from reproducing. Got to ask a entomologist. I don't much like bugs. I just step on them !

My son and I hunted, well sort of, as the weather was hot and conditions dry and noisy, in the Adirondacks last weekend.
Saturday I had 4 Deer Ticks on my clothes and gun and mark had one
Sunday I didnt have any but Mark had 4, one imbedded.
took it out with my Swiss army tweezers.
I had one embedded 2 yrs ago while in the same area.
The NY legislature is supposedly contemplating action on tick control measures.
Back in the 90s there was a vaccine which I got but the 2 companies that made it stopped producing it as it wasnt cost effective to produce.

you don't need  a circle or bulls eye  trust me       go to the doc

True or not, but I've been told by my Doc that you won't get Lyme Disease unless a tick has been embedded for 48 hours!

I'm very hesitant to believe that!

A few weeks ago, I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease and I know the tick wasn't embedded 48 hours!

Infact, I never new he was there until he was gone and there was a bullseye, and I witnessed 103° fever and other flu-like symptoms for 2 days before I got in to see the Doc!  The tick left it's mark on my right lower leg and I know I would have noticed it during my nightly shower!

From anecdotal  reports I think you should be fine with a course of antibiotics . There is one thing that might help and can't hurt. I customer of mine had a bad case of lyme and after antibiotics went to a holistic physician who gave her IV glutathione injections that helped tremendously. So perhaps you do the antibiotic first and then the glutathione IV afterwards. Supposedly eating bone soup is good for the immune system as well. And taking probiotics with the antibiotics.

Here we go again ! Been finding ticks on animals all winter , but found first one on me yesterday . Every year I hope they all die off in the winter , so much for hoping :(

Lyme caught up with me last week, 2 more weeks on doxy. Finally started feeling human again yesterday and got a little bit done. The rash is beginning to fade so I'm winning. I hate ticks. This one was tiny and right in the sock line. Luckily it's early season and not bright out, last time on doxy was midsummer and even my knuckles blistered.

It wasn't very long ago that having lyme with your corona was a good thing. (sorry...too soon?)
 My last bout with Lyme was 2 years ago, hoping to dodge the bullet for a little while longer.

I must be too far north, I have never had a tick on me that I know of anyway but I'm definitely going to try to be more observant , I will at least start looking for them on myself and my pets.
Don P I am glad you are feeling somewhat better and hoping you have a swift and complete recovery.

We're hoping that with so little snow in this area all Winter the tick population might have frozen and died off!

Like I said, "We're hoping"!
