Came across this article on a possible scientific method to prevent ticks from being able to transmit Lyme. Pretty interesting and awesome if it could actually be a viable solution.

I watched a documentary about something similar,but they where going to alter the DNA in mice to kill the ticks.They needed a small island to test it but none of the residents would agree to it.

Similar technology has been used in the past, but more research is definitely in order.
