Also be on the lookout for the pathogen Borrelia miyamotoi which is carried by black-legged ticks, as well. It causes relapsing fever, and can progress to meningoencephalitis. If doctors are only screening for Lyme in sick patients, they may miss this.
I know of one person (and possibly two) who got infected by B. miyamotoi in Danby in just the last year. Apologies to admin if this has gotten off-topic. I thought it was especially germane to mention since Lindsay Parsons Biodiversity Preserve is such a hotspot for migratory birds in Danby, and also has one of the highest black-legged tick densities in the area.
