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 takes ticks a bit of time to latch on and start sucking, by taking a shower shortly after you can wash the crawlers off and also check your full body for any latched on?

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